All the blind people I've talked to and some sighted people even are 
againist dismanteling services. Jessica Moss and I have discust this as 
well, and I don't think she is a part of a consummer group, and so I showed 
her the proposal, and she said that wasn't going to be good for us as blind 
people! RJ

>>> The 2011 Legislative Session is an opportunity for  transformational

>>> Some policy conversations reach beyond the scope of  an individual

>>> 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.
