Governor looks to streamline natural resource agencies

Governor Gregoire's Natural Resource Subcabinet has released more than twenty “ideas” that they hope will provide “a starting point for further discussion” as they seek ways to consolidate services, improve efficiency and reduce costs within the state's natural resource agencies. Additional information and analysis of the “ideas” presented by the Natural resource Subcabinet can be found here: Ideas to Improve Management of Washington’s Natural Resources. The Subcabinet is also looking for feedback from citizens. To provide feedback on the Subcabinet’s ideas, as well as provide your own ideas, you can use the Electronic Feedback Survey or send an email to resource.reform@ofm.wa.gov. Comments will be accepted until October 28, 2009.
