Recommendations from the MAP Commission most likely to face
opposition from the General Assembly:
• Allowing the governor to appoint
the adjutant general. Several lawmakers already have said they will
never sit still for taking the power to select the adjutant general
away from voters.
• Creating the Department of
Administration — if it gives too much power to the governor
• Privatization of school buses.
Many believe privatization provides less accountability, and studies
have shown privatization is often more expensive.
• Clustering SLED with other law
enforcement agencies under one person. Some lawmakers believe SLED
should remain an independent agency.
• Eliminating the Teacher-Employee
Retirement Incentive plan. State employees have not received raises
in several years, and many lawmakers will not want to admit the TERI
legislation is not doing what was intended.
