On September 12, 1991, the Governor and Cabinet, at the recommendation of the Attorney General, directed the formation of a Task Force on Governmental Efficiency. The Task Force was asked to recommend, within sixty days, options to reform the management and oversight of the various agencies, commissions, and boards reporting to the Governor and Cabinet and other agencies as appropriate, to enhance the efficiency, effectiveness, economy, and accountability of government programs. The Task Force was comprised of representatives of the Governor and all Cabinet officers, including Lt. Governor Buddy McKay, (Governor's Office) Beverly Burnsed (Secretary of State's Office), Ron Villella (Attorney General's Office), Ash Williams (Comptroller's Office), Jim Bax (Treasurer's Office), Ann Wainwright (Agriculture Commissioner's Office), and Laurey Stryker (Education Commissioner's Office). The Task Force completed its recommendations to the Governor and Cabinet on November 13, 1991, proposing major restructuring and reorganization of state agency functions relating to law enforcement, motor vehicles, environmental protection, and general government services.
