Links to Politics & Gov't On-Line
The Vermont Legislature Web Site
The amount of info on the
web is enormous, as anyone who's ever tried to run a search
can attest to. And, to put it all in context, best
estimates say that only a fraction, maybe 20 - 40 % of what's
out there is actually making its way to the search engines.
Well ...
Here at DownStreet, we'd like to try
to help. So each issue, we post a few links in Politics
& Government to sites that might interest you.
Sometimes the links will be related to one another ...
sometimes we'll just offer up a somewhat random sampling.
In either case, we think we might be able to help you find the
kind of site you've been looking for.
Of course, while we can't vouch for the
fact that every link we provide will be of interest to
everyone, we do our best to filter out the noise and the
bustle. ...
