State panel would centralize government in sweeping reform
A proposed State administrative board would consolidate agencies to cut costs and boost efficiency.

Bills, backed by Senator Richardson, aim to streamline departments including Agriculture and Welfare, with House sponsors Peeples Dobgan and King and Governor appointees McIver and Duval.
