Informative National Legislative Blog

A while back, I noted that The Hill had started a congressional blog and said that it would be interesting to see how it developed. So far, the results are not particularly good. The majority of the posts have the feel of bland, abbreviated press releases, and there is little interaction between the various contributors.

On the other hand, I discovered yesterday a blog maintained by staff at the National Convention of State Legislators, which, by the way, will be holding its annual meeting in Nashville later this month. The website describes itself as a "blog by and for legislative junkies." Although it is unfortunate that new posts only appear about once per day (real junkies require more than one daily fix, at least I am told), the blog is an informative resource.
