Just for context: NZ Local Government has been undergoing a severe prune, but they undertook to keep all 'operational' staff (i.e. all those who actuallty Do service). So a lot of middle management (30%?) got the axe.
The idea of doing away with entire agencies is nice.
And decentralizing some agencies out of D.C. area into Red State areas.
Then again I am wondering if this type move would be a double-edged sword. Is it better to have a massive bureaucratically polluted blue voting population control only 3 electoral votes, or risk spreading that pollution into a red states like Florida-30 and Texas-40 electoral votes.
Well I approve of decentralization, and more autonomy. Especially if they employ locals, not imports from DC.
To do it efficiently, one would take into account travel-time and accomodation costs (which can be extremely fungible, as it totally depends on what is considered acceptable, and without proper oversight all sorts of mores can be packed in).
Employing locals means less of that sort of thing. And in that case, moving an agency to a red state would be a brilliant idea.
Just a FINE point on your screed...Why does there have "travel time accounted for"????
In this day and age they can't do video conferencing along with sending the transcript of what they are talking about BACK TO DC?????
NO TRAVEL...All done via video AND the Inspector General's office doing inspection on ALL agencies ONCE a YEAR...If Improvements made...Once every 18 months BUT NO LONGER!!!!!!!!
