Perhaps that is our ranking, but I have had a lot of success and convenience in state services on the web. Maybe I don't know how much better it could be, but I have been favorably impressed so far at the effort.

30% offer some type of foreign language translation. I'm surprised that the Republican party hasn't jumped on this as a campaign issue. Look for Asa and Jim to come out in favor of a bill in Arkansas proactively forbidding it, just in case.

And I'm also surprised Holt hasn't tried to stop people in other countires from entering our country via the internet. Those foreigners are consuming our bandwidith.

The first comment by "mag" tells the whole story, doesn't it?

Half our legislature and half our constitutional officers don´t even have college degrees. They understand asphalt not computers.

I think that it is ridiculous that you can't access court documents or file pleadings electronically in state courts in Arkansas like you can on the federal level. I know of an instance where a lawyer friend of mine had to drive 50 miles away to file something. He would have faxed it but that particular circuit clerk did not have a fax machine if you can believe that. Ridiculous.

I thought we were supposed to be way ahead in state services online. At least, we were a few years ago, and Huckabee took most of the credit. Sounds like we've been resting on our laurels.
