Holton Advocates Gov Reform Plan For State Agencies
Governor Holton stressed Management Study recommendations to reorganize state government. He noted current agency semi autonomy hampers efficiency and pointed to an 80 percent rise in state employees from 1960 to 1970 while population grew 16.5 percent. The plan would place five deputies plus Administration and Budget offices under the governor, overseeing administration, finance, human resources, education, economic development, transportation and public safety at an estimated 250000 dollars annually. He added education gains exist but rising enrollments and salaries require more effort to maintain progress.
