Cut out any benefits for non citizens. That's a good start. Limit federal money coming in to the state. That will force reasonable cutbacks in all departments of Idaho govt.
Thank you for setting up IDAHO DOGE! Brilliant. A few suggestions...
1. No benefits for non-citizens. NONE!
2. Roll back Medicaid expansion. All able-bodied must have time limitations and work requirements.
3. Cut Idaho Health and Welfare and Education to the bone.
4. Cut the services from health districts, many of which provide harmful products including COVID shots, other "immunizations," and fluoride treatments.
5. Refuse any federal funding or grants that require quid pro quo. These often harm more than they help and can cost more than the money received after the required hoop jumping.
We definitely need DOGE Idaho and Nampa, Boise, Caldwell and probably every other city and county............The waste is appalling and it falls on the backs of the taxpayer. As a retired widow it's very difficult to keep up with property taxes.
What if the state and county employees could receive healthcare benefits that saves the state and county millions of dollars, gives employees an increase in pay, with unlimited benefits and zero copays. Healthcare benefits such as unlimited primary care doctors visits, urgent care, virtual doctor visits, mental health and prescription drugs all with zero copays. And no out of pocket costs to the government employer or employee. Funded thru tax savings.
Sounds too good to be true? Well it’s not. Already have many taking advantage of.
Make taxes as flat and low as possible, and allow no exceptions for anyone for any reason: sales, income, etc. Apply sales taxes to all services. No one should be exempted from paying sales or income taxes regardless of income level. Taxes (and government spending) will only stay low as long as everyone has skin in the game.
It is true as Glenneda writes that: "Idaho’s grocery prices are already identical to Oregon’s, where no such tax exists. In a competitive market, stores are driven to keep prices low to attract consumers. The only entity profiting from the grocery tax is the government." Please work to end state welfare and freebies to refugees and illegal migrants. Idaho must own up to its sanctuary state issue of making excuses for hiring illegals for the dairy and farming businesses.
Glenneda and friends. Please check out the frustration that police officers are facing as their computer systems are constantly down or slow to work. We have a friend in the Meridian police force who says that 1/3 to half his day is spent waiting for computers to work. Traffic stops take a half hour and should only take 5-10 minutes. This is a huge waste of tax payer dollars as well as a huge frustration to this officer. He needs to be able to do his job!
How about getting rid of President Tromp and avoiding expenses such as the 3 million $$ BSU just paid for their woke discrimination against Big City Coffee?
In the late 20th and 21st century, efficiency in administrative functions is achieved by integrating computer systems - consolidating processes - aka consolidating power. That's what the Clinton-Gore "reinvention of government" was all about. The planning process started in the 1990s. The implementation process began from the year 2000 forward. The OMB is basically the head of the snake for the TECHNOCRATIC conversion of government. The IT Systems Directors report to the OMB. The agenda is documented in the President's Management Agenda Reports. The first one was produced in 2002. So how is efficiency defined in terms of government functions? Take a look at look at the Fusion Centers. The Fusion Centers are very efficient in terms of information collection and coordinated actions by government and their private sector "partners". They are also the dream systems of East German STASI.
Where they need to start is with unwinding and defunding the deep state. What is the deep state? It starts with the privatization of social services and "community organizations". Anything that the government funds will grow. That's the nature of the beast. Privatization of social services was a guarantee for the decay of our society. Why? Because decay grows the need for more services, more rules, less control over our lives.
That's a word of caution concerning the word "efficiency". Be careful what you ask for because you'll get it and be left wondering What happened? as the STASI shows up at your door.

Stop multiple government agencies doing the same tasks. Review each agency for their defined purpose, keep them in their lane.
Let’s start with campaign finance reform. What a waste get rid of all of it.
What if the state and county employees could receive healthcare benefits that saves the state and county millions of dollars, gives employees an increase in pay, with unlimited benefits and zero copays. Healthcare benefits such as unlimited primary care doctors visits, urgent care, virtual doctor visits, mental health and prescription drugs all with zero copays.

We can save the taxpayer millions.
Non citizens get nothing. Cut Medicaid and food stamps. No free rides. Make these people get a job.

You need to support Convention of States to help permanently get Washington unable to get out of control again. Especially concerning spending.

Woot! Woot!! DOGE Idaho is the GOAT!
