Congress’s $100M Research Service Rivals Wikipedia In Quality, But It Refuses To Share

The United States Congress' website got an expensive new facelift this week, but access to its incredibly valuable data was conspicuously absent. Most citizens are unaware that Congress has its own internal research service that rivals Wikipedia in the breadth and quality of reports it produces on every imaginable policy issue. The Congressional Research Service, whose reports are available to citizens if they beg their representatives for a copy, has yet to give a clear justification why they've not open their data to the public.
