Can state governments deliver more services with constrained budgets? How can social media and collaborative software be used to engage citizens and lead to better policy decisions or investments? Can open government lead to better e-government? In this interview, Alex Howard, Government 2.0 Washington Correspondent for O’Reilly Media, interview Carolyn Lawson about precisely these issues. Lawson is the Deputy Director, Technology Services Governance Division, Director of the eServices Office of the state of California.

You can read more about how California is delivering e-services over the Internet in a previous post on this blog.
