Admin Pushing for e-Gov
It's about time:
OMB makes new case to win Hill support for e-gov
Having failed over the past 4 1/2 years to convince Congress of the virtues of e-government, the Office of Management and Budget is making an unprecedented attempt to sell the idea to lawmakers and secure funding for fiscal 2006.
-from Government Computer News
Actually, the lead is a little generous to the administration. The administration is accused of unorthodox maneuvers in passing the hat to agencies to fund e-rulemaking, and Congress ever so gently slapped the administration for it.
One hopes the administration will take this time not just to get back in congressional appropriators' good graces but also to reevaluate the current e-rulemaking system and improve upon the lousy product that contractor Lockheed Martin has been building.
