>>Two television screens have been mounted above new electronic voting
>>boards, and robotic cameras have been placed throughout the Illinois
>>House, at a cost of more than $750,000.  Video of debates in the chamber
>>will appear on the Internet (www.legis.state.il.us) and could be picked up
>>by television stations for use on the nightly news.  The video in the
>>future may be fed to a proposed, C-SPAN-like television initiative known
>>as the Illinois Channel Network - patterned after a similar model in the
>>Louisiana Statehouse.  Thus far, the State Senate in Illinois has no plans
>>for televising proceedings from their chamber.
