State and Local Public Policies in the United States is an ongoing research project and data compendium. On this website you can download spreadsheets containing data on policies covering everything from taxes and government spending to abortion to campaign finance, approximately 140 different policies in all, for all 50 states. We also provide information on how to use these data to construct indices of policy ideology or individual freedom. We are currently updating the data from December 31, 2006 to December 31, 2008 and expanding the metadata for each variable.
