The document discusses how the Wisconsin State Cartographer's Office wants to help the government run more efficiently by developing a statewide aerial photography program. It proposes researching past projects, gathering user input, and creating a blueprint to meet most needs for around $1 million per year, which could be cost-neutral. It asks readers to listen to experts, help turn ideas into reality, and use existing funding for its intended purpose to help develop an efficient statewide program.
