State of Florida Announces Launch of Government Peformance Information Website

As promised, Governor Crist announced the launch of the state's new floridaperforms.com website which is designed for making Florida government functions more accessible to the public. The site compiles data from a variety of government resources and provides an easy to use format to show a synopsis of Florida's current state of affairs.

The website reports on how well Florida is doing in areas that affects its residents quality of life. According to his introductory letter welcoming visitors, Governor Crist states that "the performance measures will not only provide you with a window into your government, it will also provide our managers with important tools to build upon successes and address shortcomings", which should be invaluable to those agencies charged with spending the people’s money.

In reviewing the site, it's easy to navigate and provides of wealth of information, both good and bad. Visitors can find information on everything from public safety, taxes, education, and health care to name just a few areas that are reported on. It also provides for reader feedback and the ability to email the Governor himself and tell him what you think. 

For those of us who have lived in Florida for awhile, this is another great internet resource that our technology oriented state government provides. Residents should be grateful that we live in a state that chooses to embrace the "information highway" providing all of us easy access to information that influences our quality of life.
