Moore Commission Recommends Virginia Gov Reform Plan
The Moore Reorganization Commission proposes an eight point program for Virginia administration focusing on welfare prisons and mental hospitals. It backs continued governor control over key departments while proposing new structures including a department of mental hygiene and hospitals and a department of corrections. It urges abolishing the fee system for sheriffs and sergeants and suggests reorganizing conservation and development commissions.
