Notes on Local Government Sites

Naperville, Illinois, Rick Klau's home town, lets you look up a property using their GIS data. Here's a Starbucks on West Ogden Avenue. The Westchester County, New York, publishes their GIS data as well, but it's not as usable.

Closer to home, the Putnam County Sheriff's Department uses XOOPS, and an RSS feed, to publish the blotter. This is an improvement.

You'd think that with New York's large population of Internet literates, some of the government bodies would manage to get their systems online in a usable fashion.
