KUNM-FM is webcasting audio live from the floor of the New Mexico Senate right now.
Click here to listen to the audio feed. It’s the next step in the push for video and audio webcasting from the House and Senate — something Democratic and Republican leaders in both chambers have rejected for years.
A posting on the radio station’s Web site explains the reason for the audio webcast:
“New Mexico remains one of only five states that do not offer some type of webcasting of legislative proceedings,” the posting states. “KUNM believes that has to change. Until the end of the current session on March 21st, log on to kunm.org for live floor debate from the Senate, as well as occasional House and committee debates. It’s Democracy in action on New Mexico’s community powered radio KUNM… online at kunm.org.”
Update, 10:25 a.m.

The Senate just recessed for the day.
