New York Senate Site Relaunch #127

Closed henare closed 8 years ago

"New York Senate Site Relaunches With “Listening” Features".

This is one of the first legislative sites I've seen designed with people in mind, which is great. At first glance it also looks like a great site but if you dig a bit further you see it's just a good first effort (clicking "find your senator" gives you a login window, the issues search is a bit crap, "Senators Talking About this Issue" just takes to you to the profile page, etc.).

Great starting point. Seems like there's a lot of stuff 'coming soon', http://www.nysenate.gov/coming-soon .

Nice item for the newsletter cause it gives people another example to compare their local sites too.
