Introduced Version, Senate Bill 0625 — This ambitious bit of legislation from Sen. Murray Clark eliminates most boards & commissions and transfers their power directly to the Governor unless the Governor, in his wisdom, declines the board or commission’s power.
Just poking around through the list, I see that it gets rid of county boards of public works and safety, county redevelopment commissions, and county boards of zoning appeals among many, many, many others.
This is just lazy. Sen. Clark gets to walk into LSA say, “Hey, I want a bill that gets rid of all boards and commissions.” How does the bill propose that we do the hard work of figuring out which boards and commissions ought to stay? You guessed it. We create another commission. That’s right, the bill creates the government efficiency commission.
