Legislative blogs on the rise

Legislative blogs are adding their presence to the rapidly growing blogosphere. A Stateline.org article today reports on a blog of Utah's Senate Republicans. Launched in September 2005, the blog calls itself the Unofficial Voice of the Utah Senate Majority. Stateline notes that it "was the first of its kind to strike up a digital dialogue that included entries not just from state Senate Republicans but also from minority Democrats and lawmakers in the opposite chamber."

The article also references a table of legislative blogs and RSS feeds compiled by the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) which links to 53 blogs in 24 states.
