Ranking Committee Websites

November 30th, 2009 by Daniel Schuman · No Comments

Today’s National Journal has a story on Congress’s best and worst committee websites. Sunlight participated in the evaluation process, and the results are available here. My favorite comment is by the communications director for one of the committees about his committee’s (old) website: “Everybody hates it, and it’s not user-friendly, and it sucks.”

A month or two ago, we put together a list of suggestions on what should appear on congressional committee’s websites. Here’s the list, in all its glory.
