Do you ask yourself just what is up in your state capital? Well wonder no more. After four years of work, the Sunlight Foundation has launched Open States, which, in their words, "is the only comprehensive database of activities from all state capitols that makes it easy to find your state lawmaker, review their votes, search for legislation, track bills and much more."
You can track any of your state legislators and see their voting records, committee assignments, campaign finance records. You're also able to choose a particular piece of legislation, check on its status, find the sponsors, break down votes, view bill text and all its supporting documents.
Just the thing to keep those pesky pols in check. Below is a short video describing the site and its tools.
