Information technology has created unique and exciting communication portals, but has also produced a staggering amount of duplicative and disconnected information or data that can make getting a definitive piece of quality information difficult if not impossibleto elicit.
The overwhelming amount of past legislation, final rules and findings etc generated by Government agencies, many with overlapping interests and jurisdictions, makes the job of coming up to speed as a new adminstrator almost impossible. Unfortunately this tends to create a situation where new leadership must rely upon agency veterans to be the repository of past works. This creates a work environment where concentrating on remembering the past, and keeping it intact, is the first order of business.
This is not due to polital agendas, but a side effect of the information and regulatory boom of our generation.
