County Reform Opportunities |
|
The 2010 year promises to be one of great challenge and change, as Cuyahoga County transitions from a county commissioner to an elected county executive and county council form of government. Other county offices will be eliminated and/or consolidated under the Charter, which becomes fully effective in January 2011.
Already, numerous individuals and organizations, both internal and external have expressed a desire to be involved. The Transition Advisory Group (TAG) is looking for volunteers with expertise in the following areas:
- Boards and Commission
- County Council Planning
- Economic Development/Planning
- Finance and Administration
- Human Resources
- Human Services
- Infrastructure and Support Services
- Justice Services
TAG has identified workgroups to address most aspects of the tasks required for the transition to the Charter Government. Each workgroup will be co-chaired by a county leader and a civic leader, who will establish meeting schedules and a workplan. Specific charges are being developed for each workgroup. More details about workgroups and time commitments will follow. More workgroups may be added.

Help Wanted - No Experience Required |
Less than 10 percent of Obama cabinet has private sector experience
By Nick Schulz
November 25, 2009
A friend sends along the following chart from a J.P. Morgan research report. It examines the prior private sector experience of the cabinet officials since 1900 that one might expect a president to turn to in seeking advice about helping the economy. It includes secretaries of State, Commerce, Treasury, Agriculture, Interior, Labor, Transportation, Energy, and Housing & Urban Development, and excludes Postmaster General, Navy, War, Health, Education & Welfare, Veterans Affairs, and Homeland Security-432 cabinet members in all.
When one considers that public sector employment has ranged since the 1950s at between 15 percent and 19 percent of the population, the makeup of the current cabinet-over 90 percent of its prior experience was in the public sector-is remarkable.
