Massachussetts' Christian Jacqz Speaks-Up for State GIS Work

An op-ed on the need for more web-innovation in state government in Massachusetts brought a detailed response from NSGIC's own Christian Jacqz about geospatial innovations in the Bay State.

W. David Stephenson wrote a column in the Boston Globe, A Web strategy for better state Government, which took state government to task for, among other things, not making data available in a form that can be "mashed-up" by citizens with Google Maps.

As Mr. Stephenson noted recently in his blog, Christian was among several who responded to his column. He outlined several innovations, including the MassGIS web mapping services.

Mr. Stephenson concludes that "there are definitely some pockets of excellence [in Massachusetts' e-gov efforts] that should be supported and applauded!"
