Rep. Doug Reichley, R-Berks/Lehigh, is the latest member of the Pennsylvania Legislatuer to jump aboard the social media bandwagon.From Reichley's office:
"I understand the appeal of Facebook, and I am trying to post regular updates as my busy schedule permits," said Reichley. "I also see the appeal of microblogging on Twitter as a way for government to be closer to people, to be more open, accountable, and transparent.
"The legislative process is complicated and time-consuming, so perhaps a glimpse into exactly what a representative does each day will be enlightening and interesting. I hope to provide live updates and commentary from the House floor during budget debates in June and into July, if the past six years is any indication of when the budget will be finalized."
