Finance Chief Recommends Fiscal Control Emphasis In New Duties
State Finance Commissioner Joseph C. Peters urges reorganizing the Department of Finance and Administration to stress fiscal control under the Modern Budget Amendment. He proposes placing civil service and non civil service jobs under the department, transferring records management to the secretary of state, and moving emergency planning to Civil and Defense Mobilization. The 1957 establishment began with Capitol maintenance but now covers transportation, information system services, and more, with 12 legislative-change recommendations to centralize heating, five year leasing and maintenance deals, and expanded staffing under civil service.
