"I'm a huge proponent of program data. And to be quite honest with you if municipalities were even able to get to that point, I think it's just a goldmine to have programs, I always look back and I compare a program budget to a line item budget and both have importance and both have merit but to be able to communicate- to be able to help make decisions- to be able to tell elected officials or the public- The program information is just gold."

"The thing that we've always had is that local government is the original open-source network. Everything that government does, can and should be shared. So why do we limit learning to being once a year event that you have to pay a lot of money to attend? Why can't we be sharing information as freely as we can? Because the work we do is accessible to anybody."
