Impeachment proceedings in Illinois House / * BOOKMARK *

The Special Investigative Committee of the state House of Representatives to review grounds for impeachment of Gov. Rod Blagojevich has opened a webpage with a roster of members, notice of hearings and copies of documents entered into evidence.

In addition, the General Assembly has House and Senate audio and video feeds on line at:
Available when the House and Senate are in session.

During the impeachment process, readers of Rich Miller and readers of Miller's Capitol Fax blog at http://thecapitolfaxblog.com/ have begun livebloging sessions. Public Radio WUIS-FM is interrupting its regular programming to broadcast the hearings.

About Me

Springfield (Ill.), United States
I'm a retired English, journalism and cultural studies teacher at Springfield College in Illinois (acquired by Benedictine University and subsequently closed). I coordinate jam sessions for the "Clayville Pioneer Academy of Music" at Clayville Historic Site and the Prairieland Strings dulcimer club, and I sing in the choir and the contemporary praise team at Peace Lutheran Church in Springfield. On Hogfiddle I post links and video clips for our sessions and workshops on the mountain dulcimer (a.k.a. "hog fiddle"), as well as research notes on folklore and cultural studies, hymnody and traditional Anglo-Celtic and Scandinavian music. I also posted assignments and readings in my interdisciplinary humanities classes. The Mackerel Wrapper (now on hiatus), carried assignments and readings for my mass comm. students. I started teaching b/log when I chaired SCI-Benedictine's assessment committee, and reopened it as the privatization of public schools grew increasingly troubling and closer to home.
