Jack Dangermond, head of ESRI, is circulating a $1.2 billion proposal to build a National GIS, as part of the recovery and reinvestment plans in Congress.
The proposal is gaining support from state GIS/GIO's around the country, despite some early concerns that the proposal hasn't been fully discussed in the community and the implications aren't fully known. But the sense is that the proposal is gaining traction.
There's been a push in the past couple of weeks to try to get the Western Governor's Association to formally endorse it.
There's some brief excerpts from the proposal at the GIS User blog.
