An Act Relative to State Government Accountability, Economy, and Efficiency
Documents & Status: Text
of Senate 1435 | Status
of the bill
Now more than ever, Massachusetts finds itself struggling to balance its budget. Annually, we see fiscal demands far surpass our available new revenues and are forced to delay or leave unfunded, many valuable projects and programs. While this legislation does not generate new revenue, it works to make sure the Commonwealth is spending its money wisely. It establishes a commission composed of members of the legislature, executive, business community, and voters-at-large to immediately look for ways to reduce duplication and streamline state programs and services.
