Taxpayer Accountability

ROAD TO REFORM • PRIORITY 13

THE PROBLEM
Public safety must be properly funded, but taxpayers should not be asked to fund duplication, weak planning, automatic contract renewals, or programs that cannot demonstrate value.

THE PLAN
• Conduct a 90-day spending review.
• Review contracts, overtime, jail costs, technology, vehicles, fuel, maintenance, and subscriptions.
• Track renewal dates and competitively review major contracts.
• Tie major expenditures to measurable operational outcomes.

WHAT CHANGES ON DAY ONE
Begin a line-by-line operational spending and contract review with KEEP, IMPROVE, RENEGOTIATE, CONSOLIDATE, or ELIMINATE classifications.

THE STANDARD
Every tax dollar should have a job.
