“Storm Tips” – Launch of a new LegiStorm occasional series
Posted by LegiStorm on Monday, May 18, 2009
We have long been frustrated by an inability to highlight the interesting items we stumble across in our raw records. While we have served as a valuable data source for news organizations since our founding, we have shied away from original reporting. Instead, we have been a bit too focused in on providing our existing top-quality data and developing new information sets that shed light on how Congress works.
However, today we are launching an occasional blog feature called "Storm Tips" in which we will begin to reveal a bit more about what we find in our data. Some of what we find is whimsical, some of it appears passingly strange, and some of it contains a whiff of scandal. But whatever their nature, these "Storm Tips" should serve as starting points for reporters and writers to do a bit of digging to tell a more complete story.
Our first "Storm Tips" items comes today from our staffer Stephen Snowder, who writes about Sen. Judd Gregg (R-N.H.) and what his personal financial disclosures newly reveal about his controversial ties to his brother.
