Assembly Candidate Levins: Cutting Waste Lowers Spending and Taxes
Wednesday, May 25, 2011
by Wil Levins
(CNBNEWS.NET) I was recently speaking with a group of public employees who work for various prominent State Agencies and listened as they shared examples of profound wastefulness that occurs in our State government. From not utilizing a common database for sharing departmental information to failed inter-office policies that prohibit corporate taxes from being paid on time electronically were among the many ways our State’s inefficient operating methods squander New Jersey taxpayer’s dollars.
So why should you care? Government Agency operating costs all contribute into
When I am elected your Assemblyman, I will support the legislation that has been proposed by Assemblywoman Caroline Casagrande that calls for the State Comptroller’s Office to deputize independent certified public accounts to audit every state agency. These audits will cost taxpayers no additional money because the independent CPA’s will be paid 10% of the waste they identify once eliminated. It will allow the State Comptroller to conduct a broader accounting of our State’s waste while making it easier to identify ways to reduce our government spending.
Working with other fiscally responsible legislators to provide you with a more effective and efficient State Government is part of my three point pledge - the A.R.T. of Good Governance. We need legislators in Trenton who are willing to think outside the box in utilizing new concepts and ideas to provide us all with accountability, responsibility and transparency.
In liberty,
Wil Levins
5th District Republican Assembly Candidate
