:D

I'm just amazed, my county has passed a resolution stating their intention is to make their website work only with IE. My suspicion is lazy IT guy. Any other possible reason?

1. Big money Micro$oft contracts?
Maybe Bill Gates promised them some extra Vista upgrades if they would force everyone to use their crappy browser (and probably other M$ programs).

Though a lazy webmaster certainly could be part of it.

acheiving ADA-compliance in all possible browsers, so they're playing CYA by officially offering only one type of service/support? (Actually, this idea is the same as lazy/incompetent IT guy.)
