SUPRADEPARTMENTS 10/30/2010
Combining departments will have a significant and immediate financial impact. I have worked on a variety of combinations in the last six years. The combination department I have come to is combining the Michigan State Police, Michigan Department of Corrections, Michigan Department of Community Mental Health and the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs.
The largest obvious benefit would be the combining of a massive and out of control administrative staffing and the current regional structure that some of these departments operate. I have 120 definitive and finite orders that would effectively reduce how government operates. This is not a band aid, this is an amputation with a prosthetic.
While I reserve not to disclose every detail this would include, publicly defining EVERY position in EACH department. Once established there would need to be an immediate study of needs, based on personnel placement, if the position in question is not vital in operational need the position would be eliminated.
Redefine all administrative and management positions, not allow any further promotion into management / administration without at least a BA degree, absolutely no more promotions based on experience. This helps maintain educated people, people who have invested in themselves, promote and are rewarded for furthering their education. It helps end the "buddy" system which has plagued departments with unnecessary promotion and poor fiscal decision making.
Eliminating three administrative and regional structures and placing all four departments under the administration of the Michigan State Police.
There would be one director, with four Divisions, each Division would have very limited management positions. Criminal Investigations, Road Patrol/ Corrections, Mental Health, Military/Vetrans Affairs.
A glimpse of some changes would be the elimination of the E.R.T., Wardens would run multiple facilities, elimination of all Assistant Deputy Wardens, Correction staff would be converted from the current 4 overlapping shifts to 2 twelve hour shift with mandated staffing levels, complete elimination of Regional supervisors and support staff, complete elimination of overlapping community mental health supervisors and managers in the correctional settings, eliminating the need of buildings that house administrative and regional staff, combining State Police Posts in with Correctional facilities (This is not a total elimination of all posts), reduction of any staff that is not considered essential to minimal operations. Staffing levels of corrections officer and state police road patrol officers can not be reduced for public safety but they can be reallocated, public safety and assistance must be maintained.
MPRI study must be conducted to verify that parole numbers and violations are not being skewed or manipulated ( which we know to be the case). MPRI must be able to prove its effectiveness, under a newly devised measurement method developed. MPRI cost, and employees could be operated at the county level in a more cost effective structure. If the State of Michigan continues the practice of revenue sharing (which is questionable) it could make mandates that core programs be used with revenue shared money.
There are examples of revenue sharing in communities that are used as the local communities please, and those local communities are either banking their locally collected money or using for non-essential "pet projects." Defining where revenue sharing is spent is necessary otherwise revenue sharing is archaic in its' current form.
I have 109 separate remaining ideas in this restructuring and reserve the specifics for the Snyder Administration.

Mc Comb to Graduate as a Fellow from Michigan State University's Michigan Political Leadership Program.
Ron Mc Comb is one of 24 men and women who competed for a $17,000 per student fellowship. Mc Comb competed against many qualified applicants in the summer of 2009 and was awarded the fellowship in the fall of 2009. Michigan State and private business donates the $500,000 cost of the fellowships for 12 men and 12 women equally divided by party affiliation, and scattered throughout the entire state of Michigan.
Every month they come together in a different part of the state and "lock down" in a location and become educated by some of the State of Michigan's most prolific political, business, industry, education and community leaders in the country. The education, friendships, and contacts are absolutely priceless.
Mc Comb will be in the graduating class that will include the 500th graduate of this nationally recognized elite political program. Some of Michigan's most recent prolific political leaders have come from this program, putting Mc Comb in good company.
Anyone wishing to attend the graduation can buy a seat, this is how a portion of the fellowship is paid for. For $150 per seat or $1500 for a table (tax deductible) you will receive a wonderful dinner or breakfast. You will get to here to excellent high profile political speakers: Mike Mc Curry (Former White House Press Secretary to President Bill Clinton) and Dana Perino (former White House Press Secretary to President George W. Bush), and you will be rubbing shoulders with some of the most powerful people in the State of Michigan. This event is a literal Who's Who for the State of Michigan "power players" and the politically elite.
