The Legislative Study Group

And as long as I'm touting sites with information about the bills that the Lege will be considering, let me also give a shoutout to the Legislative Study Group. They've been around since 1995, they do a ton of research on just about every bill that comes through the Lege, and they have a real effect on the debate - among other things, their research was a factor in getting the votes of the Hochberg Fourteen in 2005.

And they could use a little help. As Vince points out, the LSG is a caucus, so there's no governmental funding for their work. They rely on donations, and they've got some fundraisers coming up to generate some:

If you can't make it to any of these, you can also click here to contribute directly. Phillip has more on the LSG. I have a feeling you'll be hearing their name and seeing some examples of their work in the coming months.
