    The idea is... (none / 0) (#1)
    by HouseStaffer on Thu Oct 13, 2011 at 12:33:12 PM EST
    I think the idea is to increase accountability.  Right now state government is populated with civil service bureaucrats who's only interest is in themselves.  They have complete job security, and because they're in the union, they will retire with a pretty nice pension.

    The Governor has no ability to try to make things more efficient, because the people in the department are not accountable to him.

    Sen. Robertson's idea would be to make more employees at will and accountable to the Governor.  That way the gov could not blame the civil service system (like Granholm did) for his or her inability to reform the departments and create efficiency.
