I am probably the last blogger in Virginia to mention it, but there may be a few readers who haven’t seen Waldo Jaquith’s new “Richmond Sunlight” website yet. Waldo’s creation provides an interface to General Assembly information that’s far more user friendly than the G.A.’s own website. Plus, it has cool features such as lists of newest bills, most viewed bills and most discussed bills, along with easy access to legislator information.
The website has fun, dynamically updated charts that show, among other things, the Top 10 bill filers (Del. Bob Marshall is the most prolific). And the comments capability could prove interesting. As of today, the bill that has sponsored the most commentary is HB 1774, which would make it “unlawful for any person to keep, maintain or operate or to visit a disorderly house.”
Great job, Waldo! I’m book-marking this baby, and I’m going to use it.
