There is staggering waste in Frankfort City government. What steps would you take to correct this serious problem?

I agree that the waste in city government is staggering right now. I believe we need more accountability within each department’s budget and work force. I think the most important thing to establish is a better system of oversight. Right now there’s no easy way to identify exactly who (and which departments) are underperforming, other than with anecdotal information (which is valuable, but hardly thorough). I believe that a properly managed work-order system can go a long way towards bringing transparency and accountability to each department’s budget, allowing us to trim a lot of fat out of the system.
