Scary Times
The Board of Supervisors stated some telling facts today that I would like to adopt. I paraphrase and hope I don’t lose their meaning. They pointed out that now was a time to cooperate between departments not a time to look only after your own process. The Supes called for Initiative and Leadership to go along with Cooperation. Interestingly they turned to the Executive Office for revenue reviews. Where was the Auditor-Controller? The Executive Office hired a consultant rather than employ the talented and dedicated people of the Executive Office and the Auditor-Controller’s office to conduct a revenue review. Where was the Auditor? The next several years will require focussed, purposeful, and innovative solutions to ongoing functions. Government will need to speak to the people and people will need to speak to government. Clarity in communication, Leadership in innovation, Effectiveness in processes and procedures, Accountability in transactions, and Responsibility for all actions will become not only a logo or campaign platform but a minimal requirement.
