New York City
A Conversation with Stephen Goldsmith, Deputy Mayor for Operations, City of New York
Wednesday, June 8th, 2011 - 19:06
Today, local and state governments are under tremendous pressure to do more with less. Addressing the challenges arising from this need can present local government executives with opportunities to identify different approaches, borrow innovative strategies, forgo old ways of doing things, and craft a new way forward. How is New York City government modernizing and consolidating operations for the 21st century? What is NYC doing to shape a government that is customer focused, innovative, and more efficient?

A Conversation with Cas Holloway, Commissioner, New York City Department of Environmental Protection
Sunday, February 6th, 2011 - 14:17
As we continue to engage government executives who are changing the way government does business, we had the pleasure of taking The Business of Government Hour on the road to a variety of U.S. cities. New York City, perhaps more than any other, represents a complex ecosystem that requires and consumes a vast array of natural resources. Protecting such resources and the environmental health and welfare of its residents is essential for the City—for all cities to exist and thrive.

Phrase:
I think about performance every day. How are we performing as a utility? How do we define success across the agency? It’s really important to define what success means, and then measure it.

A Conversation with Robert Doar, Commissioner, New York City Human Resources Administration
Friday, June 4th, 2010 - 15:24
Over the last several years, we have focused on human service delivery: the challenges being faced and innovations being forged in our local communities. Today state and local governments are under tremendous pressure to do more with less. Nowhere is this more evident than in the delivery of human services—that social safety net bringing to those most in need a leg up, well-being, and ultimately self-sufficiency.

Robert Doar has been as effective in this very difficult role in NYC as he was for the state of NY...he is praised by Republican and Democratic representatives alike. We are very lucky to have such dedicated people working in the public sector.
Robert Doar is completely out of touch with real economics and is so driven by an obsolete notion of work that he unfortunately cannot see that it makes no sense fiscally to force very low income mothers to enter the paid workforce. Doar's Back to Work program at HRA for example, spent $10K per capita to place each low income mother participating in a temporary job (less than 180 days guaranteed placement). Any business that would pay $10K to place a worker for only 6 months without accomplishing its mission (in this case reducing the worker's poverty) would be out of business.
