Help Cut Government Costs 

The Senate Government Management and Cost Study Commission is asking for ideas from citizens to cut the cost of state government.

The 10-member commission includes individuals experienced in the operation of state and local government, along with members who have experience in private business. The goal of the commission is to study state government operations and the experience of other states in an effort to propose changes which will reduce costs for Pennsylvania taxpayers.

The commission's report to the full Senate is due on June 30. 

The commission is chaired by Senator David Argall and has a web site, senatorargall.com/commission.htm, which includes video from every commission meeting, along with supplementary materials.

Members of the public who have ideas they would like the commission to consider are encouraged to send email to: cuttingcosts@pasen.gov.
