Streamlining Local Government

The Republican-led Board of Directors is aiming to make local government more effective by consolidating some of the boards and commissions.  The Journal-Inquirer had the highlights:

“We can make this more effective, we can streamline this,” Republican Mayor Louis A. Spadaccini said during a Board of Directors meeting Tuesday that included a discussion of merging boards and commissions.

. . . 

“Republican Director Jeffrey A. Beckman, who recently resigned from the Commission on Aging to accept the position of director, admitted he would have liked more substantive issues to discuss during his tenure on the commission.

Still, “The people I was privileged to meet and serve with are dedicated and faithful,” he said, agreeing with Zingler that no one’s work should be disparaged.”
