Consumers and businesses would also be asked to pay user fees to support new Web-based services such as renewing driver's licenses, obtaining business licenses or filing corporate documents. Meanwhile, the state will aggressively continue to consolidate its many computer processing facilities, call centers and other information systems to save money and improve services. The ideas are all part of a grand technology...
