What some of our subscribers say about us:

"For many years State House News Service has been an absolutely indispensable tool for both our government relations and communication departments.  It is, without question, the most effective means in electronic print for us to keep tabs on the vast array of activities taking place on the Hill. The material is timely, well written and extremely accurate. And, by continually upgrading its online offerings, SHNS is keeping on the cutting edge of information dissemination."

Former Communications and Publications Director

"Twenty years ago, shortly after I became executive director of Citizens for Limited Taxation, a friend who had been a State House aide gave me this valuable advice: subscribe to the State House News Service. For the first year or two, I impressed various allies with my inside knowledge of everything that was happening on Beacon Hill; then, unfortunately, they found out about the service and subscribed themselves. A few years ago, our director of operations started getting the service online, so once again I knew everything before everybody else. Unfortunately, almost everyone is online now. What do I have to do to be perceived as the smartest kid on the block again?"

"If you need to know what is really happening on Beacon Hill you have a choice: hire several full-time employees to hang out and run around there, or subscribe to the State House News Service."

"Subscribe to the State House News Service, or drown in your own ignorance."
Barbara Anderson
Executive Director
Citizens for Limited Taxation and Government

"As a professor teaching a graduate governmental affairs course at Boston University, I find the daily news feed from State House News Service a vital tool in understanding what is going on in Massachusetts legislative action in the battle of the budget.  The reports often cover important hearings and contain insights on not only what happened, but why it happened.  In short, anyone who is affected by state government actions (and that's about all of us) should have access to State House News Service."

"I need to know what's going on at the State House in order to service my legal and public affairs clients, but my office is on Route 128 and I can't be at the State House every day.  The State House News Service lets me be in two places at once, and gives me the kind of in-depth coverage of the political process that my clients expect from me.  It's the indispensable information solution for people like me who don't live in "The Building."

"State House News Service is an invaluable resource for both me and my clients. As a one-person shop, the information that SHNS provides me during the course of the day makes my job of being everywhere at the same time much easier. It's like having a staff to cover hearings, sessions, and press conferences. I am never caught off guard with SHNS. The Roundup - Advances - and editor's advisories are the best!!"

"The State House News Service is an invaluable source of up-to-the-minute information on the important political and policy developments in Massachusetts and how those relate to national politics as well. We receive a daily briefing on critical debates and decisions about legislation, judicial decisions, regulatory policy and key appointments. I use the News service not only to stay informed about policy and political conflicts, but as an indispensable teaching tool for our students in the Women in Politics and Government Graduate Certificate Program. Our students are required to do research on contemporary public policy issues and the political dynamics surrounding decision making. The State House News Service serves as an invaluable point of departure for discussion and research. Keep up the good work!"
