Curious about the information government is tracking about your community’s health? What about data on the wetlands in your area? Or perhaps the federal contracts going to your community’s businesses? Well, now is the time to let the government know what you want to see. They're listening.
All agencies are currently soliciting public input into what federal information to release via Data.gov. If you know what kinds of information would be useful to you, even in the broadest sense, then you can submit your request directly to the agency. You can also view other items your fellow citizens have requested.
The best way to submit your ideas is to go to the OpenGov Open Feedback Firehose over at Intelletics [1]. The Firehose is a catalog of all the portals where you can submit requests to specific agencies. Simply click on the link to the agency you want speak to, sign in, and leave your comment. You can also vote on the requests made by others!
