"It's so important to get the message out to smaller municipalities that no one is `too small' for e-government. It shouldn't be seen as a yes or no question when it's really a matter of determining an appropriate and affordable starting point.

Every town and village can benefit from an e-government initiative. It might be as simple as a computer with a modem and an Internet e-mail account. Finding something that's right for them and getting started - that's the important thing."
