There are only a few days left and so many people to thank.

In Arizona, Espresso Pundit is one of my favorite local blogs.  Written by Greg Patterson who has been an elected official and worked extensively in public life.  Greg focuses on spending, earmarks, and public records.  He is also a fan of putting information online and also sharing information about legislative workshops on how bills become law.

In Kentucky, PageOne is a great blog for stories and investigating.  Written by Jacob Payne and several others, they write stories on public records and lobbyists who influence Frankfort.

In Mississippi, Y’All Politics is an online news magazine that covers all of Mississippi’s news. They make sure to cover local ethics issues and lobbyist influence.  It is a great one stop shop for aggregated Mississippi information.
