Hey all,

Just wanted to let you know about some Wikipedia articles I've worked
on that may be of use as we get to know the legislature. Hopefully
these will be useful to our group; also, maybe our group will be able
to contribute to the general public's understanding of these things by
improving these articles further (or writing similar ones).

A complete list of the incoming crowd of legislators, and a few notes
about what various caucuses are planning on doing:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seventy-fifth_Oregon_Legislative_Assembly

A more comprehensive article on the last legislature:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seventy-fourth_Oregon_Legislative_Assembly

Also, sometimes I think it's pretty useful to track a specific issue
on Wikipedia, as news coverage on policy issues can be pretty sporadic
and incomplete in any given article. Here's an example:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbia_Gorge_casino

Thanks, Pete. I've added the article on the upcoming session to the
"recommended reading" list on the blog.
