Hi Everyone,
Following up on the advice below, I contacted my state rep
(Kitty Beattie Toll) and I attach our exchanges fyi.
Here is her latest reply. I will be happy to share my copy
of the guidelines of which she speaks as soon as I get my
hands on it:
"Rick, the software bill you refered to is now in the
Government Operations Committee. At this time they have not
addressed testimony. However, the chair informed me that the
Dept of Information and Innovation has written an "Open
Source Software and Open Standards Policy and Guidelines"
that has been approved. I am bringing home a copy. What is
the best way to get it to you?
I hope it is helpful. You can also keep track the bill
online at www.leg.state.vt.us. I shared your thoughts with
the committee chair.
Thanks, Kitty"
If you read the attachment, you'll note I volunteered you
all as informed sources if she had technical questions...

Thanks all. I had dinner with my state
Reps last evening (vt house), and was referring to
this
bill, and its potential for evaluation as a cost
savings
tool. I suggest others contact their reps or more
importantly legislators with your interest and belief
in the
savings.
