Charlottesville blogger, Waldo Jaquith, was highlighted earlier this week by the Daily Progress for his creation of www.richmondsunlight.com Web site which he kindly donated to the Virginia Interfaith Center in 2007.

The site is a fantastic way to track and talk about legislation before the General Assembly as well as research legislator’s, voting history, and even how much cash-on-hand a legislator has for the next election.

A feature of the site that’s long been requested is the ability to list a bunch of members of the legislature to compare different attributes. It’s great that Richmond Sunlight tells you how partisan each member of the General Assembly is, for instance, but that means you’d need to look at 100 legislators’ pages to find out who is the most partisan! The solution to this is the new detailed legislator listing. You can list the whole legislature along with any of a half dozen attributes (and growing) and sort the list by any of those attributes, making it easy to see how the legislature stacks up.
