Fascinating. The article led me here:
http://www.adobe.com/opengov/

I happened to be in a 64-bit browser so, of course, there was no Flash
support. I got a blank screen except for a "this page requires Flash"
button - which was useless for me. So I view the source code and there is a
text-based version of the page - except that it's set to display: none.

So, I turn off CSS in my browser and there is the info.

This (Adobe) is in a leadership role in discussions with *my* government?
God help us.
