Carter Budget Reform Sparks Mixed Reactions
Carter details a reorganization including a $14.7 million annual cost cut and a shift to annual spending reviews. The Department of Human Resources, formed from health, welfare, and vocational rehabilitation, drew praise for joint service but criticism for being cumbersome. George Busbee criticized the agency’s structure while Carter promoted zero base budgeting, though not fully feasible in state government, leading to pushback from department heads and observers.
