A committee of lawmakers is reviewing whether to recommend that the state buy the devices for the Legislature’s 50 senators and 100 representatives.State Sen. Brandt Hershman, R-Lafayette, said he already uses a personal iPad for legislative business and that broader use of them could make the legislative process more transparent while also making it easier for legislators to respond to constituents.

Consumers, business, government — everyone can find a use for the iPad.
