MEMORANDUM

Posted:	January 6, 2022 02:57 PM
From:	Senator Doug Mastriano
To:	All Senate members
Subject:	Streamlining Government Operations

I will soon be reintroducing legislation from last session to merge functions of the state government. I continue to hear frustration from constituents regarding the inordinate size of our state government and the bloated number of agencies and bureaucracies. As a result of those concerns, I am proposing the following mergers: Merger of the Budget Office, Department of General Services, Office of Administration and the Governor's Office of Policy & Planning; and Merger of the Department of Labor & Industry with functions from the Department of Community & Economic Development and the Department of State The consolidation of state bureaucracies will enhance the delivery of government services to residents, reduce taxpayer costs, and streamline redundant programs. I hope you will join me as a co-sponsor.
