While most local governmental bodies want to be efficient with taxpayer dollars, they have no real processes to make sure that’s happening.
That’s the conclusion of Sangamon County’s Citizens Efficiency Commission, which has been studying ways to reduce duplication and save money.
The commission is urging governmental bodies to start setting up procedures for periodic reviews of their operations, to ensure best practices.
The commission is marking one year in operation by noting its accomplishments so far, but also acknowledging that it has plenty more work to do.
