Government
runs on information.
|
|
|
|
è |
Information
is a major input to government programs; and a
|
|
|
primary
output of government activity.
|
|
|
| v |
Imagine no
telephones, no fax machines, no copiers.
|
|
|
| v |
Imagine no
computers.
|
|
|
|
è |
No
payments to senior citizens, dependent children,
|
|
|
veterans,
Medicare and Medicaid.
|
|
|
|
è |
Loss
of ability to access criminal justice information.
|
|
|
|
è |
These
are mission-critical applications, not only important to
|
|
the
agency responsible for administering the programs, but
|
|
|
for
the State as a whole.
|
|
|
| v |
And, worst of all, NO PAYCHECKS.
