Subject:	Prior HR 316 - Commission to Study Agency Consolidation

As we know, the Commonwealth has a duty and obligation to be fiscally responsible and to limit the tax burden it imposes on its citizens and businesses. Ten cents of every public dollar is spent on general government operations. In order to maximize the taxpayer’s dollars, we need a bipartisan effort to determine ways that our State can be more efficient and effective. In the near future, I will be introducing a resolution to create a ten member commission composed of public and private sector leaders. This management and cost study commission will make recommendations regarding mergers and consolidation of government operations in the executive and legislative branches. The Commission will issue a report studying current government operations and the experience of other states, propose changes to reduce costs, increase accountability and improve services.
