Senate Majority Leader Lisa Brown and the Senate Democrats are among the new breed of lawmakers Twittering and Facebooking and blogging and podcasting.

Now they’re adding a Web-based feature called “Open for Questions” for people who want to sound off about the budget and Democrats’ thoughts on a tax referendum, bonds for school rehab, and an income tax on high-wage earners. It includes a YouTube video with Brown. No rock music track, though, even from this music lover.
