Speaking of local blogs, the Hawaii Legislative Reference Bureau has one that links to interesting legislative topics such as a meth offender registry in Tennessee (similar to a sex offender registry but instead lists those convicted of methamphetamine offenses), a California telecom bill of rights , and the emerging topic of bioprospecting ("searching for, collecting, and deriving genetic material from samples of biodiversity that can be used in commercialized pharmaceutical, agricultural, industrial, or chemical processing end products."). Interesting stuff.
Aloha!
