Hats Off to Florida House Speaker Alan Bense

Florida House Speaker Allan Bense presented a plan known as the Government Accountability Act of 2006 that would require all state agencies to come under review of the Legislature every eight years. This legislation would review agencies to promote efficiency, as well as performance. This dynamic legislation proposed by House Speaker Bense would eliminate outdated inefficient agencies and hopefully save the taxpayers of this state a lot of money. Texas is the only state in the Nation that currently has similar rules for oversight of their state agencies. In fact, with this oversight, Texans have managed to consolidate 11 agencies and abolished 47 other departments. Contact Representatives Russell and Dean, along with Senators Fasano and Dockery, to voice your support for Speaker Bense's Government Accountability Act of 2006.
