Wow– I can’t believe I missed this editorial in the D&C. Glad DFE didn’t, because he hits the nail on the head:

FOIA reform aside, one aspect of open government the federal government has addressed far more adroitly than local government is Web site completeness and ease of navigation.Too many state and local sites are either difficult to navigate or overly political. The Monroe County site, for example, tends to focus County Executive Maggie Brooks’ activities. She’s running for re-election, not coincidentally.

Holy crap, yes! Finally, someone in the Rochester MSM decides to take Maggie to task for having spent god-only-knows how much to improve the MC website only for the sake of using it to promote herself.

But the county’s got cash to burn, right? No $100M budget gaps coming or anything.

Congrats to the D&C Ed Board for recognizing the fact. More of this please!
