Michigan claimed the top spot for its use of e-government in a new survey of states released by the Center for Digital Government.

Following Michigan in the 2004 study are:

Washington.
Virginia.
Indiana.
Arizona.
South Dakota.
Tennessee.
Utah.
Arkansas.
Colorado.
North Carolina, which tied for 10th.
You mean it isn't Louisiana? Congrats Michigan! -KF

    Michigan's government website is really, really good. We can do so many things online. ShortMedia, LLC was incorporated online!

    I always renew my driver's license, get my tabs, etc. online. It's fantastic.

    Heck in Ohio we can barely get a decent education. No way they will be spending money on e-government. But maybe thats why we can get a good education. Or maybe since everyone is a dumba$s they cant run the e-government program....

    I'd almost be willing to bet that Lousyana is dragging the bottom on this one. I'd say we're ahead of Mississippi but they just scored a supercomputer. We can't even kick them on this one. Heck, even Arkansas is in the top ten on this one. Who would ever think that too?

    Hey, Marc, at least we're better than Kentucky!

    But really, our online government services really do suck.

    Kingfish, I'm pretty sure Texas is a good ways down there too. I dont think half the state has ever heard the word "computer"

    LOL, depends on which part of the state you're in I suppose too.

    Here's the top 25. I see Mississippi made the top 25 but Lousyana and Texas are absent from this honor roll.

    We have Republican bullied Bob Taft that has denied more funding to the public school systems even tho it has been declared Inconsittutional 4 TIMES!! The state of ohio is basically run by one person and its not Bob Taft. Its a business owner, I cant remember the name, who gives millions to the republican party every year.
