I'm all for open government data. You may want to take a look at Sunlight Foundation's various projects:

And have you seen Open Congress yet?

Both really good sites. Sunlight labs has a great API for state data. They don't have every state nailed down yet, but still a very good amount of data. All of their stuff is in python, but I'm a .NET guy, so I did everything in C#.

opencongress is a good site. Sites like those need more exposure to the general public.
