>> Subject: Select Committee on Government Reorganization
>>
>> TO: Members of the Florida House of
>> Representatives
>> FROM: Dean Cannon, Speaker
>> DATE: February 3, 2011
>> RE: Select Committee on Government
>> Reorganization
>> The 2011 Legislative Session is an opportunity for transformational
>> change. We should thoughtfully and systematically pursue true reform
>> and
>> avoid
>> the temptation to make changes simply for the sake of change.
>> Some policy conversations reach beyond the scope of an individual Member
>> bill and do not fit neatly inside our predefined committee structure.
>> For
>> that reason, pursuant to Rule 7.6, I am hereby creating the Select
>> Committee
>> on Government Reorganization.
>> Privatization, performance standards, running government like a
>> business,
>> and information technology are appealing ideas but not panaceas. Reform
>> cannot consist of simply combining, recombining, dividing, or redividing
>> government agencies. Our goal instead is to engage in the work of
>> identifying
>> the specific and necessary work of government in order to eliminate the
>> extraneous tasks that have been added over the years. Florida
>> government
>> should be focused on core goals and structured to achieve those goals.
>> To convey the importance of this select committee’s mission, I have
>> asked
>> Speaker pro tempore John Legg to serve as the chairman and Rules &
>> Calendar
>> Chairman Gary Aubuchon to serve as the vice chairman. Speaker pro
>> tempore Legg and Chairman Aubuchon are both well known for their work
>> ethic,
>> seriousness of purpose, and skill in handling complex public policy.
>> The Select Committee on Government Reorganization’s initial charge will
>> be
>> twofold: first, to look at government programs that purport to promote
>> or
>> regulate private sector economic activity; and second, to look at
>> government programs involved with health and human service delivery
>> systems. As
>> time permits, the select committee may also pursue government
>> reorganization
>> initiatives in other areas. The select committee is also encouraged to
>> look beyond statutory changes and consider possible ballot initiatives.
>> More
>> than a decade after the last Cabinet reorganization, now is an opportune
>> time to examine whether the centralization of authority associated with
>> those
>> constitutional changes has produced the expected or desired outcomes.
>> Members interested in serving on this select committee should express
>> their interest to the Speaker’s Office by the end of business on Monday,
>> February 7, 2011. Please be advised that service on this select
>> committee will
>> likely require a significant investment of time. I have indicated to
>> the
>> Speaker pro tempore that I expect the select committee’s work to be
>> analytical, practical, exhaustive, inclusive, and conducted in public.
>> In addition,
>> Members and stakeholders should be advised that it is my intention to
>> refer the product of this select committee to the Appropriations
>> Committee and
>> then to the Floor.
>> I have assigned Teresa Tinker, staff director for the Economic Affairs
>> Committee, and Carol Gormley, staff director for the Health and Human
>> Services Committee, to serve as the lead staff for the select committee.
>> I will
>> allocate additional staff resources as necessary.
