California counties rank in annual survey by Center for Digital Government

While East Coast counties appear to have made a clean sweep, winning first place in all categories of this year’s technology survey of counties across the nation, three California jurisdictions ranked within the top ten, according to Government Technology.   Nevada, Sacramento and San Diego counties were all recognized for their advanced use of  technology to serve their citizens, streamline operations and achieve measurable benefits.
