Plan Introduced To Cut NJ State Workforce By Ten Percent
The state of New Jersey has more than 74,000 employees. Pennsylvania, by comparison, has 8,000 fewer employees but 4 million more people.
Assemblyman Jim Whelan (D-Atlantic) introduced a plan Wednesday to cut New Jersey's state work force by 10 percent over 10 year.Yes please, but faster.
“It would be great if you could wave the magic wand and cut the state work force 10 percent overnight,” Whelan said. “But I think you have to be realistic about what you can achieve.”

10% in 10 years is nothing more than pretending to cut the work force. If they were serious, they would demand a 5% annual productivity improvement from each and every department. Treat them like profit and loss businesses, where their income stream is tax revenue rather than sales. Make their products or services measurable, then tie that income stream to the products/services delivered rather than the criminal desires of their pet assemblymen and senators.
OF course, we'd have to find some other measurement for income redistribution functions -- hours per transaction, days of delay to respond to consituent problems, etc., and again demand improved productivity on the order of 5% per year.
If Governor Corzine had come from a real business, rather than one that just skims a cut of other peoples' transactions, he might have a chance of understanding this concept. Too bad for us, isn't it?
Really effective information, much thanks for the article.
