The real issue is government bureaucracy. The majority of lifetime workers at the state level don't really want to help improve things, and the politicians are swayed by the money from the lobbyists to keep the status quo.

I know of one state agency in Oklahoma that decided to upgrade the computer system from mainframes installed in the late 60s and early 70s. With YEARS of meetings, committees and more meetings they spent a huge sum of money and ended up with a proprietary system that was costing a fortune, not doing the job, and the company that got the bid had all the power to raise prices at will. It was a complete waste of money, and scrapped and yet another system was paid for. All the time, they still had to continue use the slow inefficient mainframes.

It is not the day to day employees at the state agencies, it is a management level, and legislature issue. And it happens at every state and double so at the federal level.
