A Boston Globe article http://www.boston.com/business/technology/articles/2005/10/25/galvin_att acks_software_proposal/ says that the Massachussetts Secretary of State William Galvin and a number of state senators are opposed to the idea of going to OpenDocument formats. You can contact Secreatary Galvin's office at cis@sec.state.ma.us if you have any thoughts on this matter. Check the article for other politicians you might want to contact as well.

Interesting article. I'm surprised I missed it initially. I'm not a Rommney fan, but I have to give him credit for trying to push this. It's a great initiative which will obviously be expensive to implement early on but will of course save hordes of dough for the state in the end. I don't think Galvin is playing politics here...too much, anyway. Like any administrator he is probably worried about big headaches it will likely cause to get this off the ground, but hopefully Rommney has a master plan to get it done as best as possible. -- Gary
