Report #137, December 1995
OVERVIEW
Over the last decade, the Commission has advocated repeatedly that the State reform its management of real property. Sincere efforts have been made to make the current system function better, but those attempts have failed. Given the State’s perennial fiscal woes, the government must seize ways to save money and generate revenue through the management of its real property. The evolution of public organizations, the marketplace and technology, compels the State to systematically change how real property is provided by internal bureaucracies, accounted for in budgets and used by individual departments.
This Commission report makes three findings and three recommendations, and provides short-term and long-term measures that can be taken.
