In my recent past, I worked on pitching a number of eGovernment contracts — I still believe they would have worked and apparently, so does President Bush, who signed the E-Government Act of 2002 today. While it remains to be seen how this money — $345 million — will really be used and whether it will go toward greater government transparency (as NYC.gov has done with its online record of public health reports about restaurants here) or toward privacy invasions, remains to be seen.
