Senators Seek to Allow Reporters in Senate Chamber
Columbia State Sen Joe Wilson proposes amending Senate rules to permit reporters on the chamber floor during sessions while staying clear of the working area. Clerk Frank Caggiano notes recent renovations moved members above to the balcony, a change Wilson says harms understanding of proceedings. Senator James Waddell says he has not seen the amendment and would prefer current practices. Wilson argues reporters’ access would reduce noise by letting members police themselves.
