State workers want a seat at the restructuring table

During the public forum at the second meeting of the Government Restructuring Task Force, two state workers wondered out loud, how the Task Force, comprised of 17 voting and 6 non-voting seats, did not include a seat for state workers.

There are more than 28,000 of them. Ironically, that is both the problem and the solution; there are too many state workers and, there are more than 28,000 people with first hand knowledge of the best solutions to that problem.

I suggested to the task force, these people know more about the inefficiencies in their departments than anyone on the dais.

Rep Keith Gardner suggested a survey of state workers.

Rep Janice Arnold-Jones is long on record, for calling state workers into Roundhouse committee rooms and listening to their input.

Bottom line; a survey is on the table. The survey items will be crafted to expose public corruption and incompetence, or they will be crafted for some lesser purpose. The results will be made public according to the spirit of the law, or according to some lesser standard.

There are those questions. I would remind you of the PRC Ethics Survey and the secrecy that surrounds it still.

If justice delayed, is justice denied, then

a survey delayed, is a survey denied.
