New York City has created its own commission focused on making government run more efficiently, and the man leading it says the goal is straightforward: cut through red tape so the mayor can deliver on what he promised voters.
Patrick Gaspard serves as chair of New York City’s Commission on Government Efficiency. He recently sat down for a conversation about what the commission does and how it fits into the broader effort to make city government more responsive and effective.
The commission’s work centers on identifying and removing bureaucratic obstacles that slow down the delivery of city services and programs. By streamlining processes within city government, the body aims to help translate the mayor’s campaign pledges into real results for New York City residents.
