New York State Senate Property Tax Ideas
The New York Senate is working on ways to help New Yorkers cope with high property taxes – and we need your ideas.
OpenAustin
OpenAustin is a community-based effort to crowdsource the requirements and development for the new City of Austin web site using local software developers, marketing experts, and graphic designers that have been displaced from their jobs due to the current economic downturn. This will produce a superior web site for the citizens of Austin at a fraction of the cost of the city’s lowest bid.
The idea of using crowdsourcing to address government issues is a great one, since so many people care about these issues but feel unable to address them on their own. Another good example is the Guardian UK’s “Investigate your MP’s Expenses” project (see skillocracy.wordpress.com for a description).
