Nixon launches efficiency effort

Friday, November 9, 2012

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Gov. Jay Nixon is assigning two aides to examine ways to make state government more efficient.

Nixon announced the initiative on government organization and efficiency Thursday, two days after he won re-election.

The work will be led by Nixon’s chief of staff, John Watson, and his policy director, Jeff Harris.

They’ll gather information and suggestions from the private and public sectors, including ways for state government to provide more services to taxpayers.

Better watch out state workers. "State efficiency" means fewer people to do the same work.

So that means he keeps his friends in high paying jobs and gets rid of the peons, right?

I hope not.

Jay Nixon reorganizing state government = less rank and file employees to do the same amount of work and MORE high paying positions for his lawyer cronies.

So how many of my fellow state employees were suckered into voting for this guy by that last minute, before the election announcement of the day off after T-day? If you remain employed it will be the last under this governor.

My speculation, ol' Jay Bird will switch parties (where he belongs) and run against Claire in six years. This guy is about one thing and one thing only--Jay. Worst politician in MO history!
