E-Gov Takes A Hit From Congress

The administration’s proposed plans for e-government initiatives have been dealt a significant blow by Senate appropriations actions which cut $40 million from the requested total of $45 million for FY 2003. Through the E-Government Act of 2002, agencies are working on a coordinated effort to streamline, standardize and improve the management and operation of online systems, and to enhance citizen access to resources via e-gov portals.
According to both Government Computer News and Federal Computer Week, Sen. Joseph Lieberman, a strong supporter of e-government initiatives, will champion the cause of restoring this program funding.
