“In an era where partisan quarelling has come to dominate the news, we built LegisWeb’s Eye to refocus the discussion on the underlying policy debate. With all the posturing and maneuvering by our politicians and candidates for office, it is easy to lose sight of the real issues facing the state. LegisWeb’s Eye addresses this by using advanced software algorithms to sift through the noise to bring public discussions and the proposed policy changes together in a very useful way,” says Grant Vergottini, another co-founder at LegisWeb.
LegisWeb’s Eye is built upon LegisWeb’s existing premium bill tracking service. Since 2007, LegisWeb has been providing professionals such as lobbyists, corporations, and advocacy groups a comprehensive bill tracking services. LegisWeb pioneered “As Amends the Law” – which highlights the changes to the law being proposed by pending legislation. LegisWeb is also the only bill tracking service that has continuous monitoring for real-time updates.
