Democracy on the Go
February 28th, 2013 by flanewsWant to keep up with the Florida House in this upcoming legislative session? Well there’s an app for that.
House Speaker Will Weatherford announced a new app to allow people to track bills, contact lawmakers and watch committee meetings from their phones.
“It’s going to increase people’s access to their government. So if they want to talk to their speaker, if they want to talk to a legislator they are going to have the opportunity to do that in better formats than they’ve ever had,” said Weatherford.
The app cost about 113-thousand dollars to create but it’s free to download. It will be available to the public next Tuesday, the first day of the 2013 legislative session.
