The story includes this quote from Hawaii’s chief information officer, Sonny Bhagowalia:
“This is the first time the state is serving up a web portal made for the people of Hawaii. Our team has made the site accessible, beautiful, clean, useful and everything in between. Hawaii will serve its citizens their government, their way.”
Austin, Texas; Alameda County, Calif.; and Tennessee were the first-place winners for state and local government’s top websites.
