In an effort to streamline government at every level and bring relief to New York’s 4,200 taxing jurisdictions, Governor Spitzer signed an April 2007 executive order creating the Commission on Local Government Efficiency and Competitiveness. Former New York Lieutenant Governor, Congressman and Jamestown Mayor, Stan Lundine, was appointed to chair the commission, which is charged with making recommendations for local government merger, consolidation, shared services, smart growth and regional services. The committee’s recommendations are due on April 15, 2008, one week prior to this CLE Program.
Developed primarily as a continuing legal education seminar for attorneys, the seminar will appeal to a cross-disciplinary audience of lawyers, municipal officials, business leaders, school administrators, bankers, and other professionals.
