Tech In Obama's 2013 Budget Proposal: Still High Hopes For Gov 2.0
The White House on Monday announced a 2013 budget proposal of $16.7 million for its e-government operations, and an additional $5 million for a government-wide fund that will enable agencies to reap the knowledge gained from lab-testing emerging technologies without having to conduct duplicative tests themselves.
The federal E-Government Fund, administered by the General Services Administration, pays for transparency and technology initiatives like Data.gov , Performance.gov , and USASpending.gov .
The additional $5 million pot of money pays for cross agency, government-wide initiatives, like the Information Technology Dashboard , privacy and security testing of new tech platforms, and data center consolidation efforts.
The $16.7 million is far lower than the $34 million per year that the administration had allocated for e-government initiatives in 2009 and 2010, but it’s more than the $12.4 million that congressional appropriators approved late last year for fiscal 2012. The administration and open government advocates had to vigorously fight off appropriators’ efforts to slash the funds for e-government initiatives during last year's budget battles.
