to Politics & Gov't On-Line
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. ... The Vermont

keeping with the new session of the Vermont Legislature, DownStreet
