Taxpayers can go online and find out more about the way their government works than ever before.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I have long believed taxpayers make better use of their money than the government ever could.
We need more transparency and accountability in government so that people know how their money is being spent. That means putting budgets online, putting legislation online.
I've said we need to look at things from the perspective of working people and taxpayers, not from the perspective of government and government officials.
Taxpayers deserve a government that harnesses technology to better serve the people.
As long as government is allowed to collect all Internet data, the perceived exigency will drive honest civil servants to reach more broadly and deeply into our networked lives.
We need transparency in government spending. We need to put each government expenditure online so every Floridian can see where their tax money is being spent.
The viewpoint of the government is that the people must have full access to all information worldwide.
The relationship between citizens and government is increasingly mediated through the Internet.
The web can be a fast trip to the library, giving you immediate access to a government report, or it can filter media for you, which is why I look at around 15- 20 of these sites every day.
In the Internet age, it is inevitable that corporations and government agencies will have access to detailed information about people's lives.
