When searching for government information, you need to decide if the issue is at the Local, State, or National level.
Next, decide what category best represents your question. For example, are you looking for information regarding pollution, budget, or current legislation?
Finally, consider the age of materials needed. Many historical documents as well as current items are available on the web. Unfortunately, not all government information is available online. Some information can only be obtained by visiting your local government office or your public library.
