Governor wants Info Technology Dep’t

December 28, 1999 By admin

Governor Vilsack wants Iowans to have computer access to state government, any time of day. Vilsack is asking legislators to vote to create a new state “Information Technology Department.” Richard Varn, a former state legislator who is the Governor’s technology guru, would likely run the agency. Varn says Vilsack wants to spend nearly 10-million dollars to acquire the computer resources for a 24-hour state government. Varn says for example, a 24-hour-a-day, seven-days-a-week “on-line” government would provide forms for marriage, birth and death certificates, it’d provide tax returns and court documents. Someday, Iowans might renew their drivers’ licenses on-line or pay traffic fines by transferring money from their on-line bank account to the state treasury.
