More government collaboration possible in tough times


By John Bebow - November 21, 2008

Michigan's hundreds of local governments and school districts can do more to collaborate, share services, privatize services, employ economies of scale through bulk purchasing, and otherwise cut costs without cutting at the heart of community quality of life. The Citizen's Research Council lays out a roadmap for such reforms in this new report.

Among the approaches CRC discusses is reworking revenue sharing to better reward collaboration and efficiencies -- an idea also raised nearly two years ago by the governor's emergency financial advisory panel.
