Discovering IT Spending Levels by State

Citizens seeking better government services are often caught between competing government priorities. These priorities are often politically motivated, deceptive, and influence the degree to which different funding priorities are met. Government agencies seek to increase their budget without increasing performance, and often receive additional funding from legislatures seeking oversight of these same agencies for not performing. One method of influencing these priorities is to discover similar funding within competing states and compare relative levels. This information can then be used as political motivation to increase or decrease IT funding to specific areas.
