Today I met with Kathleen Lonergan to talk about Government and Technology. Kathleen works for the Minnesota Legislature. She’s been very involved with the State Government Budget Division and has a great interest in access to information, transparency and government use of technology. She recently started a blog where she talks about Government Technology and Efficiency. Today Kathleen spoke to me today about how statewide policies can help local governments improve their services and how broadband fits in with the process.
