Enron has hired the firm of Stateside Associates to provide State Legislative Monitoring and Regulatory Forecasting services on those states that aren't currently being actively monitored by the department. Stateside Associates is based in Arlington, Virginia and is the largest state and local issue management firm.  It has 50 employees and over 13 years of experience providing high quality information resources.  The professionals who monitor state legislation are all former state legislative staff members and Regulatory Forecasting is provided by attorneys familiar with our issues.

We will receive an updated Legislative and Regulatory report every two weeks.  Everyone on the attached notification list will receive an email alerting us that the report has been updated.  If you're not on the list and would like to be added please let me know.  The list is currently set up geographically, but we can add an issue-based distribution if needed.

At any time, we can access our report by clicking www.stateside.com/istatelink or by following the site link from the Gov't Affairs intranet site.  The Enron logon is phoenix06 (not case sensitive).  This logon must not to be shared outside Enron.  

We will also receive email alerts about our issues.  These will be sent to the designated recipients based on the issue or geography.  

Because interaction with us is very important to Stateside, any Enron employee may contact Stateside Associates for additional information (Special Request) pertinent to the monitoring service.  For example, you may want to learn more about who is lobbying for a bill, what the deadlines are for a regulatory activity or to receive a list of who testified at a hearing.  This follow-up research is part of the Stateside Associates' service.  It will not result in any additional fees.

However, if a Special Request is made that is outside the scope of the Enron program,  it will be addressed with me prior to the commencement of any work.  Again, if Stateside responds to your request, there will be no additional fee - so please use this feature.

Our principal Stateside Associates' contact is Todd Cohn, Manager, Legislative Information Services.  He can be reached at tjc@stateside.com or 703-525-7466.   The Enron iStateLink website also features a roster of other Stateside professionals, including their email addresses.  

You can learn more about Stateside on their website at www.stateside.com.

I hope you find this service useful and look forward to your feedback.
