Just received an e-mail from one of my favorite resources, LegiStorm, that they’ve started up a blog:
LegiStorm has launched a new blog. Although the LegiStorm site is primarily a source for data, the facts can tell stories. Until now, we had no way of bringing these stories to our visitors’ attention. We hope our blog will illuminate and draw attention to some of the interesting aspects of the information LegiStorm has to offer.
Although occasionally we may highlight someone on one side of the aisle or the other, we plan to continue our tradition of non-partisanship. In addition, we plan to use the blog to tell the processes involved in providing our data, how others have usefully employed our site, and to alert users what new information products we have released or will release.
More about LegiStorm, which every self-respecting political blogger should be consulting:
LegiStorm launched in September 2006. Our web site is dedicated to providing a variety of important information about the US Congress.
Based on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC, LegiStorm’s first information product was a database of congressional staff salaries but we have now added other valuable information, such as the most comprehensive database of all privately financed trips taken by members of Congress and congressional staffers.
The information is provided in a strictly factual, non-partisan fashion. We have no political affiliations and no political purpose except to make the workings of Congress as transparent as possible. We expect this resource to be useful to journalists, researchers, lobbyists and current and would-be staffers – as well as regular citizens who simply want to know how their representatives spend public money.
Go forth and dig.
