This year, News for Public Officials provided hundreds of investigative reports, expert opinion and how-to articles to thousands of public officials and concerned citizens across the country.

Our writers and researchers provided source material for articles published in The New York Times, Computer World, U.S.A. Today and Bloomberg News as well as hundreds of local and regional news agencies. Hot subjects included identity theft via online records, border security, political deceit, lawsuits, voter fraud, and commercial exploitation of taxpayers.

The NFPO provides information and research to state and local officials that they do not receive from paid lobbyists or government vendors. These are the stories our growing list of political leaders found most interesting in 2006...
