me too...

A quote from the article:

<< "Unless you had a master's degree in government administration, you
probably wouldn't find the actual information you're looking for," said
Chris Cummiskey, Arizona's chief information officer. >>

I presume that AZ CIO guy, meant "before" the proposed changes.
(not "after"...)

On another topic;   the same article also says that EPIC
(the "Washington-based Electronic Privacy Information Center")
[quote:]
<< [...] recently filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission urging
it to investigate Google regarding [...], as well as its proposed
acquisition of online advertising company DoubleClick. >>

My comment is that DoubleClick will not necessarily infect GOOG
with some kind of contagious malware / doublethink;  on the
contrary, maybe their new parent co. will turn *them*
in to a breath of fresh air.

Just my 0.02,
