Governor Claims Policies Saving Taxpayer Dollars

The Blunt Administration claims its policy of cracking down on wasteful spending is starting to pay dividends. Mike Keathly, Commisioner of the Office of Administration, says the savings for the current fiscal year have already reached more than $1-Million. Some of that comes from the fact there are fewer government workers than there were previously. Another is consolidation of work space brought about by reorganization of government agencies. It’s been discovered that while space is being leased on non-government buildings, there are vacancies in government buildings. Keathley says it makes no sense to waste these taxpayer dollars.
