Local government matters and deserves our attention.
That is why the backers of EfficientGovNow have retained Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Bob Paynter to help explain to the region the role local government plays in the economic competitiveness. Learn more about Bob.
Bob will be writing stories over the next few months about important issues related to local government efficiency and the various government collaborations that are seeking grant dollars from EfficientGovNow. We hope Bob’s coverage will both enlighten you and motivate you to become more involved in advocating for more efficient, effective local government. Read Bob’s description of the task he is undertaking.
Bob’s work is being supported through a two-year grant from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. His coverage is just the first step in an innovative effort to engage residents to offer solutions to local government on how to be more efficient and effective. More information on this effort will be announced this spring and summer.
We hope you will help us share Bob’s stories with others in your community and spread the word that government collaboration is building throughout the region and as a result Northeast Ohio is strengthening its regional economic competitiveness.
