Major recommendations of the MAP Commission that are most likely to be approved by the General Assembly:

• Make the secretary of state and state education superintendent appointed, rather than elected, offices.

• Create the Department of Administration under the governor’s office. With House Speaker David Wilkins, R-Greenville, proposing this change as well, it stands a good chance of happening.

• Unify the computer systems state agencies use. Many of the agencies can’t communicate with each other electronically.

• Create a “Citizen One Stop” that offers a single point of entry into state government on the Internet.

• Increase the Capital Reserve Fund from 2 percent to 3 percent. The fund has been used for deficit reduction in the past several years but has not been sufficient to prevent damaging budget cuts. The increase would be made over four years.
