Sweetwater County (WY) signs E-911 contract. Some state legislators have proposed the idea of merging UDOT and UTA. Two former directors of Utah's Corrections Dept. are working to rebuild Iraq's prison system. E-government is a priority at this week's ASEAN conference.  Earlier, ASEAN prepared this primer on egov.
