Waldo Jaquith is getting some well deserved recognition from the MSM regarding his creation of Richmond Sunlight. In today’s Virginian Pilot, an editorial says what we’ve known all along: bringing sunlight to the legislative process is a good thing.
Jaquith’s Web site replaces befuddlement with knowledge. He deserves credit for making the legislative process more public, more accessible, and more accountable.
Yes, he does. Thanks, Waldo! Oh, and in case you missed his post today, Waldo has now added Google maps on each legislator’s page to show where their district is located. Cool beans!
Waldo is fantastic. The VA blogfather, and so much more, he’ll make a great public servant, if ever again he decides to run for office.
