Opening Day

The Oregon House convenes at 8:30 a.m. The Oregon Senate convenes at 9:45 a.m. Both chambers will start by organizing - officially electing leadership and setting rules.

Once that's done, they'll move to joint session for the inauguration of Governor Ted Kulongoski at about 10:45 a.m. (Inauguration schedule.)

Gavel-to-gavel coverage is available at OregonChannel.org.

Use this thread as an open discussion about the day's activities.

Update: Looks like we've got some live-blogging going on from Scott Moore at the Mercury Blogtown, from Jenni Simonis at Blog for Oregon, and from TJ at Loaded Orygun.

    Thanks for the link, Kari.

    I just uploaded several photos I took during the opening session of the House and Senate.
