Linux Access in State and Local Government, Part IV (Linux Journal)
Linux Journal takes a look
at the process of getting legislation passed at the state level of
government. "Other ways of initiating legislation exist. In the
circumstances of open-source legislation, sponsors' constituents began by
presenting a business case. For example, I presented an argument based on
cost savings. My senator (Senator Carona of Texas) liked the idea and moved
forward. According to Carona's senator's aide, I presented more research
than was needed. Most lobbyists or special interests achieve results with
far less information. Fortunately, Senator Carona knew about Linux and
open-source software as a businessperson."
