CAPITOL INSIDE has become known as the Fox News of the Austin insider world while quickly emerging as the most unique and entertaining source for news and information on state politics and government in Texas. The non-partisan web site news service has been a big hit with Republicans, Democrats and diehard independents as well since making its debut online in January 2003.
