Post in new research on the politics and public policy of legislative transparency

Jul 15 19:54 UTC

Dear Colleagues:

During Spring Semester 2008, I was a residential fellow at The Shorenstein
Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy, which is located at Harvard's
Kennedy School of Government. Yesterday the Shorenstein Center published my
working paper, Would You Ask Turkeys to Mandate Thanksgiving? The Dismal
Politics of Legislative
Transparency<http://www.hks.harvard.edu/presspol/research_publications/papers/discussion_papers/D46.pdf>.
The paper focuses on online access to roll call votes in the U.S. Congress, the
50 U.S. states, and the 25 largest U.S. cities.
