WISCONSIN (CBS 58) -- A website that lets you stream video of state government meetings is once again live -- at least for now.
WisconsinEye, which operates like our state's version of C-Span, is up and running through the rest of this month.
Lawmakers on the Assembly's state affairs committee advanced a plan Tuesday, that creates a new trust fund for WisconsinEye.
The interest from that $10 million investment would help fund WisEye's operations; then, the nonprofit would be responsible for coming up with the rest of its budget. That amounts to about $600,000 a year in fundraising.
Board Chair Mark O'Connell says that won't be easy.
"We don't tug at the heartstrings of really anyone," O'Connell said. "We don't tug a tear out of anyone's eye when we say, 'could you give us money so we can publish the affairs of state government?'"
WisconsinEye went off the air back in December. It has enough funding to operate through the end of February.
