"In this important book, William Eggers shows convincingly
just how much promise technology holds for making government
more efficient, transparent, and responsive to its citizens.
Eggers displays a keen understanding of policy-making in the
digital age. Accompanying his insightful policy prescriptions
are invaluable tips for putting the ideas into practice. Government
2.0 is a great contribution to freedom and democracy."
- Governor Bill Owens,
Colorado
"Government 2.0 should be required reading for all policy
makers; it showcases the power of harnessing new technologies
in a readable fashion with wonderful, real-life anecdotes.
The information is vital for anyone helping to chart the political,
cultural and economic future of our country."
- Cathilea Robinett, Executive Director,
Centers for Digital Government and Education Executive Vice
President, e.Republic, Inc.
"Bill Eggers effectively identifies that democracy in
America today is increasingly being played out by everyday
citizens in front of computer screens. He shows that political
leaders can be in constructive two-way conversations with
their constituents if they understand the dynamics of today's
technologies."
- Minneapolis Mayor
R.T. Rybak
"Bill Eggers is one of the country's leading experts
on government reform. I have been reading and listening to
for a decade, since I first was elected mayor of Indianapolis.
His new book, Government 2.0, provides a major contribution
to the public policy debate."
- Stephen Goldsmith, Professor, Faculty
Chair of the Innovations in American Government Program, Harvard
University and former mayor of Indianapolis
"Every year, more governments are using technology to
become more user-friendly and transparent for citizens, and,
ultimately, more effective - moving from old-style patronage
politics to performance politics. Government 2.0 is a great
place to start for government leaders who want to make the
right choices to have the biggest impact."
- Baltimore Mayor
Martin O'Malley
"Bill Eggers is out front ably tackling the huge challenge
of making America's governments more rational and more electronic.
This is the last frontier of the information age. Let's hope
Eggers is right that "IT" shall overcome!"
- Richard P. Nathan, Director, Rockefeller Institute
of Government, State University of New York
