[edit] Maine should improve online access to records

"Online public records provide great opportunities for citizens to see why, for so many years, journalists pushed local, state and federal governments to provide more information about their work, not less.

As government employees use computers more and more to do work such as rating medical facilities, charting the costs of public projects and regulating lawyers, doctors and other professionals, there is enormous opportunity to make that information available to an increasingly Web-savvy public."
