FIRST, we follow up. The AP devotes thousands of hours in Washington and the state capitals to cover legislative debates and bill signings. That makes sense; people want to know what their elected officials are doing. But too often we stop there; we forget that people want to know what their elected officials are doing for them. We have an obligation to follow up on the law that received so much attention upon passage and see what worked, what didn’t work and where legislators might go from here.

Good link, and a nice idea, but I betcha the Associated Press never even considered writing a story that said the D.C. handgun ban was a disaster.
