Byrd Reform Aims at Shrinking Virginia State Agencies
Governor Byrd proposes consolidating Virginia state departments into eight to ten major units. The plan reduces elected offices to governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, while others would be appointed with legislative approval. An auditor of public accounts would be elected by the General Assembly to check expenditures. The change seeks centralization and enhanced executive power under tight accountability.
