"State governments are critical arenas for the public's right to know, in part because they are a major force in the country's political economy. They employ about five million people and spend some $1.5 trillion a year," a recent study found. "They play a major role in regulating business and protecting the public, and they are often in the vanguard of public policy innovation. Making those activities more transparent is a vital public benefit."
However, many government organizations are resisting broad information dissemination until technology is available to prevent privacy information from accidental release.
