thecivicreportAfter a three-week hiatus, The Civic Report will relaunch this week with a new focus: national politics.

Expect to see the features you’ve come to know and love still around — the short, snappy posts and the bolded key points — and expect to see some new initiatives, as well.

Don’t forget to follow us on Twitter and on Facebook.

See you soon!
