Municipal law, spending, etc. seems to me like a ripe avenue for software being used to improve society. Here's why: most people don't even know what things are happening in their area, much less do the math to see the full picture. There's an enormous gap between what information is technically available to the public and how that information is put on people's radar so it can influence voting and activism. I feel like I've also read that, for this exact reason, municipal governments are some of the most corrupt parts of our system.
