Other Voices Ed Huck, Wisconsin Alliance of Cities “There should be some neutral ground where local governments can go to talk about cooperation.” Anthony S. Earl, former Governor “There needs to be a big shakeup in government, perhaps through a Constitutional Convention.” State employee “Good public policy does not always equal popular public policy.” Walton A. Henderson, consultant, Wheaton, IL “Partnerships are critical to government and the private sector. Partnerships are built on trust, relationships and shared goals.” Thomas L. Consigny, Wisconsin Power and Light, Madison “The most visible example of ineffectiveness is duplication and overlap of police, fire, planning, taxing and other services of local government.” Citizen caller “You’ve got to make it easier for communities to merge.” Jim Ryan, Hales Corners “There are no incentives for county government to create their own future.” Anonymous “Wisconsin ought to impose an outside limit on the number of days of its legislative sessions.” Legislator “The Legislature needs to be hit on the side of the head with a 2 x 4. Do it.” Legislator “We have too many local governments. Maybe we have too many legislators.” State employee “Collaboration is very difficult. Create a subcabinet that fosters agency cooperation.” Kathryn Bloomberg, Mayor, Brookfield “Persons working in agencies should do internships with local government. There is a lack of understanding.” James B. Nyman, Webster “Every dollar the state gets in its hot little hand comes from taxes and should be spent with good management.” Linda Davidson, Rhinelander “Government should live within its budget. Corporations and families live within their budgets.” State employee “How about a system that promotes saving money.” State employee “It is an anti-personnel system, not a personnel system.” State employee “It takes forever [for anything to get done in the system], even when the agency has the authority.” State employee “They gave us flexibility in procurement but my agency won’t comply.” State employee “We spend a lot of time undoing duplication.” State employee “It goes into the [agency] personnel office and it dies. It’s like they learned it from [another agency]” State employee “There are so many [personnel] bureaucratic steps and people you have to go through. It is just incredible.” State employee “Top heavy? We have bureau directors supervising only eight employees.” State employee “Section chiefs and bureau directors are supervising two, three, four, five and six people.” State employee “It will take me six signatures and four months and I’ll pay $300 for [computer softwear] I can get now for $70.” Tom Landgraf, Heartland Properties, Madison “We need to focus on goals achieved rather than mistakes avoided.” Brian Joiner, Joiner and Associates, Madison “Understand the huge benefits of working upstream.” Bill Binn, Madison “One of the greatest sources of frustration is to submit a permit application and then wait months before any action. Often the action is a request for more information.” Leroy A. Bley, Ozaukee County Board, Port Washington “Too often we see a confrontational attitude from various state regulatory agencies that could serve much better if an attitude of cooperation were used.” Professor Marc Eisner, regulatory reviewer “There is a distinct lack of intra-agency coordination in the policy area.” Michael Giese, Onalaska “The unique challenge for government is to step back and look for the common good.” CITIZEN • COMMUNITY • GOVERNMENT — WISCONSIN: THE 21 ST CENTURY 79
