Henrico County’s Manager led rush to leaner government
A Virginia county that adopted manager government seven years ago cuts waste and boosts services. Willard Day, Henrico’s manager, runs a tight operation with a single purchasing agent, modern finance, and substantial tax savings while expanding water, roads, schools, and health programs. The result: higher taxes this year due to court orders, but a 3 percent lower rate than before and improved public services. Now many counties consider the Henrico model.
