<3 civic tech

Happy Monday, Baltimore. I have a question for all the civic tech aficionados out there: What's a technology you believe the government should implement? And what's tech government should steer clear of?

 

When it come to the MiamiCoins and NYCCoins of the world, there's a question of who benefits. On the other hand, there are plenty of efficiencies in the private sector that could make the average citizen's life easier.

 

Let us know what tech you think city government should or shouldn't be looking into by replying to this email or sending a note to , any time.
