Making Government More Efficient
and Accountable
Ensuring that taxpayers' money is spent in the most efficient and effective way possible is one of my top priorities - they're my tax dollars too!
There were many bills this last session to improve government accountability and efficiency, and I was proud to work across the aisle to help create and pass these bills.
We worked to ensure that projects funded with our tax dollars use local workers and businesses, and to make STAR bonds more transparent and accountable. We passed legislation to make our state one of the few in the country to have performance-based budgeting, which means the governor is required to build the budget based solely on what programs are serving our citizens and businesses well.
We also passed legislation creating a Sunset Commission, which will review all boards and commissions in the state to make them run more efficiently, combine those with overlapping duties, and end those that are no longer needed.
We must always be looking for ways to make government more efficient and accountable, and I want to continue to do that in the next legislative session, and every session after that.
