[Igc] Sen. Risch's office uses GIS in Congress

[Gail Ewart]

All,

As some of you already know, I have been asked to help Sen. Risch's office build support for spatially enabling Congress on behalf of NSGIC. Tim Petty is the person I'm working with on this exciting initiative, which includes Sen. Udall's office, too. Below is an esri news item that features Tim demo'ing the community mapping tool using Idaho (and Colorado) data.

I hope you will take a few minutes to view this video. Tim's part begins about two minutes in.

Deputy Legislative Director Uses Community Analyst
Tim Petty, Deputy Legislative Director from Senator James E. Risch's (Idaho) office, uses Community Analyst to demonstrate how priorities were set for two water projects. Viewing and analyzing demographic, health, economic, business, education, and other types of data helps leaders understand the overall community for better and faster policy decision making.
