CQ Purchases

To all CQ and Governing Staffers —

I am pleased and enthusiastic to announce that CQ has purchased a Chicago-area company called TrendTRACK, which collects web-based legislative information in all 50 states and distributes it to customers through a very sophisticated delivery platform. This is the beginning of a strategic campaign that I have been contemplating and working toward for many years — moving into the area of state information and combining that valuable data with our unparalleled federal tracking service on CQ.com.
