RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - A House committee looking at how the chamber could air video of its daily sessions is grappling with who would oversee the broadcasts.
The panel of House members met Monday to discuss details of a plan it expects to vote on later this month and present to Democratic Speaker Joe Hackney.
The committee supports broadcasting House floor sessions and some committee meetings on the Internet before expanding to regular television.
The panel's recommendation puts the speaker in charge of setting broadcast policies. The minority leader also would have a role. GOP Rep. Ric Killian of Mecklenburg County said he would prefer the policy be set by a committee equally divided of Democrats and Republicans.
Panel members agreed the public must believe the broadcasts are fair and nonpartisan.
