I get so frustrated finding information about my legislators. I'm overwhelmed with the contradictory information available. Have you "Googled" your local representative? It's always been a waste of time for me. I was intrigued to come across this new database. Open State allows users to search for their local representatives and learn more about recent bills, committee memberships, recent votes, etc. You can even create an account to follow your local legislator.
Is this a step in the right direction for transparency in government?
