My little town: OpenCongress

When I worked and/or lived on Capitol Hill (15 years all told), new “local” newspapers and weekly magazines about Congress and our national yet surprisingly insular little town and community within The District would come and go. Only a few of them survived and prospered. But here’s a new and interesting one, at least to me, via Ed. at Blawg Review and the Susan Crawford Blog: OpenCongress. It’s an on-line magazine apparently mixing the traditions of The Hill and the Library of Congress’ Thomas with the added trumpeted goal of reporting the “real story behind the story”. We’ll assume that means facts and not gossip.
