MAP Quest

Despite having been at the blogging for a while now, I still get impressed by the sheer volume of quality information that is being put out by people from all corners. Pick a subject, you'll find people writing about it.

In that vein, but much closer to home, I came across an interesting article, apparently written by a U of I student, which does a workmanlike job of laying out the state's MAP and new MAP Plus programs, and detailing the legislative/political positioning of various House members during the process. (The wrong photo of Kevin McCarthy is an amusing sidebar.)

The author appears to have a conservative bent, which somewhat skews the piece, but hey, that's the beauty of the blogosphere. The article does a credible job of looking at the subject and is worth a read.
