Fantastic new resource for PA legislation

A new blog sponsored by State Rep. Mark Cohen keeps track of legislation working its way through the machine in Harrisburg, and provides brief explanations of the issues involved. This is a great service, as it's often hard to get news of things in progress, let alone sort out everything that might be covered in the inscrutable legalese. Will be keeping my eye on this one.

Note: there's another new blog in a similar vein, Plogress, providing records of which legislation your U.S. legislators have sponsored or supported. They recently added uploading of roll call votes, so you can find out which way your reps voted on bills that matter to you. Progress for democracy!
