The California legislature doesn't make it all that easy to track what they are doing. That's why I'm enjoying a new tool from MAPLight.org that puts together information on bills, votes and money in one handy place.
You can search by a legislator, or by the name of a particular company and interest, or by a bill, and find out about the bill, the interests involved, and the money spent on all sides.
More about this here.
