BGov launches state government coverage

Bloomberg Government announced Tuesday the launch of a state government news service called Bloomberg Government: State.

The service features reporting of journalists across the country covering policy areas — including energy, the environment, health care, labor policy, and taxes — and proprietary Bloomberg technology that aggregates state and local news from over 35,000 sources.

The service also features legislative directories with contact information for more than 7,500 lawmakers and their staff so clients know who to contact — and how to reach them — when it matters most.

“While relative inaction and gridlock continue at the federal level, state legislatures are passing legislation and enacting policy—and our clients need a robust solution that will enable them to stay on top of these developments,” said Arielle Elliott, president of Bloomberg Government. “The launch of Bloomberg Government: State represents yet another step on our journey to provide our clients the most comprehensive government affairs solution on the market today.”

The new solution is available to current Bloomberg Government subscribers, and is included in their subscription.
