As the Google saying goes(as I recall): Data is not political. Indeed Chris, When I’ve talked to Chris Moore (our CIO), I was really impressed with his commitment to open data, social media, etc.

I continue to be impressed with the forethought and leadership of our City management, IN COMPARISON to other municipalities. I know we all can agree that there is probably much that can be done, but open-data, social media, and serous investment in web assets, are all examples of what is being done well. Chris Mack:

The twenty-six individuals currently on the committee represent a number of City departments and groups, and others can join if they want to (as far as I know). Their experience with social media tools is what binds them together. I don’t think they are chosen.
