Lists and Knowledge at my site

Today's world is overwhelmed with lists. They are part of every day life. At my site, the Tennessee state legislature, there are many lists that organize the law makers purposes and understanding of information. There are lists of constituents. Each representative has a contact list of organizations and businesses in their district. There are lists of legislation and each of those lists has supplemental materials, bills. There are also voting lists and records.
These lists are imperative to legislators ability to do their job. Their job description is to vote on legislation on behalf of the people who live in their districts. They need to use their contact list to stay connected to their constituents. They must be aware of their voting records for their elections. They need to understand the list of bills going through the chamber as well as everything within the bill so that they can make an informed decision.
