The following news release was issued by Rep. Curtman:
A legislative committee on Downsizing State Government will be hosting a series of public hearings and welcoming any and all who wish to submit testimony.
The tour is designed to solicit everyday citizens' and business owners' thoughts on ways to streamline government. This is your opportunity to speak directly to your government and let them know of your first-hand experiences and I would encourage you to attend. The committee would particularly like to hear from you if:
1) The state government is competing with you in your line of business and/or causing you to lose business opportunities.
2) You have witnessed inefficient government activity.
3) You can offer services or suggestions that might help the government operate more efficiently.
4) The state government is engaging in an activity you consider excessive or intrusive.
The Committee on Downsizing State Government welcomes your attendance and your comments.
