AG Cuomo’s “Project Sunlight” Live
This is nifty, and the NY Times agrees, as should any fan of open government and democracy:
 So seldom is there good news out of New York’s state capital that when something like the new Project Sunlight Web site emerges, the instinct is to wonder how soon before the forces of darkness will try to kill it. Until they do, the new site from Attorney General Andrew Cuomo’s office gives ordinary New Yorkers the ability to see information about their state that should have been easily accessible in the first place.
All kinds of interesting stuff in there. Lobbyists DB, State Legislators DB, Legislation DB. There’s even a cool map.
