Governor Schwarzenegger's California Performance Review Releases Results

The much-anticipated report from the California Performance Review has just been handed to Governor Schwarzenegger and you can now see it online at www.cpr.ca.gov.

Through Executive Order S-5-04, Governor Schwarzenegger established the California Performance Review (CPR) to restructure, reorganize and reform state government to make it more accountable and responsive to the needs of its citizens and business community.

In five productive months, the 275-member CPR team analyzed thousands of issues and interviewed hundreds of people and organizations to determine the root causes of today's problems in state government and make dramatic recommendations to fix what's wrong. The CPR report clearly demonstrates the path government must take to meet the needs of a 21st century California.

The support for CPR has been phenomenal. Carly Fiorina, CEO of Hewlett Packard - and a California resident - said, "Successful organizations and enterprises transform and adapt to meet the changing needs of their customers, or in this case the people of the State of California. Our state has added millions of new residents in recent years and undergone groundbreaking demographic shifts, yet the state government's organizational structure has remained largely unchanged. I want to commend Governor Schwarzenegger for recognizing the need to take bold steps to ensure the state can continue to provide the best service possible to the taxpayers in the most efficient manner possible."

To learn more about CPR and see the report, go to www.cpr.ca.gov today.

I got a review for him to look at. I'll move him over one notch when he signs SB1160, or he raises taxes because his Davis-esk borrowing plan delayed the inevitable--which ever comes first.

"Action: The state should authorize the hiring and deployment of additional revenue collection personnel for the Employment Development Department, the Franchise Tax Board and the Board of Equalization."

Put more thugs on the payroll to squeeze the taxpayers.

How about a tax REDUCTION, so they've got less to spend?

Here's my favorite... take all the savings... and then spend it! :-)

ISSUE: SO 39 Improve State Business Processes Through Incentives

FINDING: California currently suffers from a severe budget imbalance which has placed fiscal pressure on all state agencies, requiring them to look for ways to reduce costs without impacting the services they provide.

RECOMMENDATION: The Governor should direct state agencies to implement internal business process review to ensure agency processes and customer service are under ongoing scrutiny. The Governor should direct the Department of Finance to create a 21st Century Innovation Fund to capture savings obtained from these reviews and use those savings to support implementation of process improvement projects and create incentives to encourage identification of cost-savings and productivity improvements.

5 YEAR CUMULATIVE: CBE [Cannot be estimated]
