News Report
July 8, 2003
( K57 ): Meanwhile, republican Senator Robert Klitzkie
introduced Bill 147 today. This measure grants the governor authority
to establish priorities among government agencies and reorganize. Sen.
Klitzkie says this bill sets priorities among government agencies with
education, public health, and public safety first. Other agencies could
be reorganized, functions could be absorbed, and appropriations be moved
from those agencies that are lower on the priority list to those which
are tops.
( Sen. Bob Klitzkie ): “The
governor can accomplish these things and all of the personnel actions
he needs to accomplish by properly worded executive orders that have had
public hearings in accordance with our regular public hearings law, that
would provide the public the right to be heard -- due process, etc., that
is in 5GCA 8107 – and would allow the governor the use of tools
that he needs to get our government down to an affordable, workable size
to operate more efficiently in these times of scarce resources.”
( K57 ): Klitzkie calls his measure the Government Priorities
Act of 2003. And coincidently, the senator says, this is not in response
to the governor’s veto of Bill 83 last night.
