Sunlight isn’t going anywhere.
It occurs to me that some Democrats who don’t know me very well may misunderstand my work with Richmond Sunlight, mistaking it for being partisan. My interest in having recorded subcommittee votes, session video, and accessible legislative data is much like my interest in redistricting reform: it’s got nothing to do with who’s in power, and it’s not going anywhere once Democrats take over the House. That, in fact, is one reason that I gave away Richmond Sunlight as soon as I started it — so it’s not up to me. So if you’re expecting me to fold up shop come November ‘09, don’t.

Wish more of my fellow Dems thought like you, Waldo. I don’t highlight things are wrong because Republicans are doing it. I highlight them because they’re *wrong*.

Well, to as honest I can muster, I must certainly wear partisan blinders. I aspire to be as attuned to wrongs committed by Democrats as those by Republicans, but as a Democrat, I’m on the lookout for Republican wrongs. There’s nothing like blogging, though, to keep me honest about that sort of thing. :)
