I’d like to take a moment to point out the excellent work being done by Audrey Spalding over at the Show-Me Institute’s Policy Pulse website. She’s been providing detailed coverage of breaking events like health care protests and town hall meetings, a court case involving school districts and property assessments, community meetings regarding the proposed north side development project in Saint Louis, and more. One piece about a Missouri health care forum, by Show-Me Institute intern Caitlin Hartsell, even garnered notice from the widely read national blog Instapundit.

So, be sure to stay tuned to Policy Pulse as Audrey and a few other talented writers bring you perceptive coverage of events that you won’t always be able to find in other media outlets.

Here are some recent headlines, to get you started:
