Is This Good For You, Too?
Help us out, people (wait, we're not asking for money, so you can keep reading).
Is this blog helpful? Interesting? What can we do to make it better? Please give us your comments and suggestions.
We are trying to achieve a couple of things with this blog.
First, we'd like make our work accessible to more people. Our reports are good stuff, but there are many people who care about their government and their community who aren't going to download an 8 page report (again, even if it is really good). Thus, the blog allows us to communicate with folks in a less formal way.
Second, we'd like to make it a place where people can participate in a conversation about what they want from their government and what they want for their communities. So far, the conversation part is limited. We're getting plenty of readers, but obviously, not so many commenters. What's keeping you from weighing in?
Thanks for helping us out.

Maybe it's partly be a matter of 'who am I speaking with?' While pen names happen a lot in blogs, corporate names are less common. But that's a small thing.
I plan to check by and maybe weigh in now and then, but the other thing is that most of us chickens out here are not experts on Maryland budget issues the way you folks are, because it's not something most of us have a good way to follow.
So thanks for doing this! Great blog.

Love the blog! But I must say- inspite of my own personal and earnest desire to be more informed about this stuff- i always find that my eyes start to glaze over with too much detail (and you do a great job of making this brief and readiable!). I hate to suggest that you pander to our "sound-bite" society- but perhaps if you had a portion of the blog that was dedicated to the remedial budget audience out there- like me! You know, a kind of "cliff note" version of the topics or bullet out some key themes each week or how about some myth buster facts? Keep up the great work!
