of this issue of  placing all the disabled under one roof for economic 
reasons, have you? KH

I see your Point. Dwite, is this why you sent this? Brian Von is really
pushing his proposal! RJ

>> TO:                          Members of the Florida House of

>> 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.
