Well it appears our
elected public servants have found only $350 million dollars to cut
out of a $20 billion dollar budget and feel this is the best they can
do.
Well I as one of
their employers don't agree and have another idea. I think it is
time we bring in a business efficiency company to evaluate the all
the state agencies and departments. I suggest asking GE, Aetna, and
UTC who they would suggest as the best efficiency expert company in
the private sector that has no connection to any government employee
or appointee. Perhaps one or all three of these companies have in
house efficiency experts that they would “loan” to the state. It
is my belief the government is top heavy with too many political
appointees along with directors, managers, assistants and
assistants to assistants and so on, and these experts would pick up
on that quickly. This group of efficiency experts would not operate
in secrecy all their meetings and reports be it weekly, bi-weekly or
monthly would be open to the public and provided complete to the
media and to the citizens of the state via the internet with no
censoring, CT is not DHS, or any agency that would require that for
national security. I think that once the final report is in and
acted on not only will we have a balanced budget but probably lower
taxes. It is time the state is run like a business and our elected
public servants are given guidance via the experts on how to do so
and held responsible to insure it is.
