There are many interesting Capitol tidbit outlets. Sometimes they seem difficult to find, perhaps because the Legislature's websites tend to rely on massive bulleted lists that don't clearly convey relative importance. PIM staff favorite: the regularly updated Senate Information Office 'hotlist' (PDF), which lists popular bills attracting interest.



In the style of leg.state.mn.us, here is our own bulleted list of good Legislature info outlets, and we're putting the House first to make 'em feel cooler:

• All mailing lists of the House of Representatives including committees and reps
  
  
• House schedule mailing list
  
• Session Daily mailing list
• House Information Office mailing list
  
• DFL and GOP House Caucus mailing lists
• All introduced bills in the House
• All House RSS feeds, including committee audio and Session Daily
  
• All Legislature RSS feeds and Legislative Reference Library RSS feeds
• House/Senate TV schedule, the House TV Windows Media feed, Senate TV RealPlayer feed.
• MyBills is the free personalized bill tracking service, which can track your favorite bills via RSS feed or email. (In many states, this kind of service is really expensive & privately provided. Another reason we're ahead of the curve!)
• All Senate publications
• All Senate mailing lists
  
• All Senate RSS feeds
  
• All Senate media coverage - includes all archived video clips
• Senate Briefly has... brief... snippets and summaries of all committee action
• The official list: Legislative Materials Available to The Public (circa August 2005) PDF. Might be time for a new one!
