From David Fletcher's site:

The Center for Digital Government announced today that Utah.gov is the winner of the 2003 Best of the Web competition!  I'm heading over for the Governor's announcement right now.

Cathilea Robinett, executive director of the Center, had this to say about Utah's site:

"Utah has a beautiful Web site that is easy to navigate and offers a variety of online services.  It has a live 24/7 customer-service help function, the most advanced common look-and-feel features in the nation, dynamic content, and a large amount of online services. Utah has historically been a leader in digital government. Capturing first-place in the Best of the Web contest reflects its true commitment to the citizens and businesses of the state."

Dennis McKenna commented on Governor Leavitt's exemplary leadership in the area of e-government.  I recorded the speeches from the Governor, Mr. McKenna, and Val Oveson and will make them available online.
