Sen. Begich Posts His Daily Schedule
During the 2008 campaign, Mark Begich promised that, if elected, he would post his daily schedule to his Senate web site. Well, what do you know, he’s posting his daily schedule to his Senate web site and it just happens to be one of the best examples of a schedule posted by any member of Congress.Begich’s schedule, unlike all of the others, is archived on his site and searchable by month. So far, he has only posted in one month (April), but this should provide a great resource for constituents in the future to be able to go back and see who he is meeting with throughout his six-year term. Any lawmaker posting their schedule should take note of Begich’s and provide a similar archive of daily meetings.
