City of Sioux Falls launches online survey about barriers to online access

Well, it seems the Department of Innovation and Cool Edgy Words is up to it again;

So how do you survey people who have little to no personal access to online services, online? It’s a mystery to me.

I also am curious about the financial incentive;

Participants who complete the survey will have a chance to be entered in a drawing to win a $250 Visa gift card.

Can the city even ethically or legally do this? I know a few years back that there was talk about some kind of incentive for filling out the city survey, like a FREE dump pass, but I think it was poo-poo’d by the legal and the survey consultant.

While I support such a survey, the best way to implement the survey would be on a piece of paper and given to kids in the school district in elementary and middle-school. No names, anonymously and no data mining.

And this is what this is really about, finding out who the partners of IDEA can blood suck for new business or what the mayor can do with the data for a future political run.

There is so much innovation at City Hall, they can hardly contain it.
