INDIANAPOLIS - A new Daniels administration report recommends state government change the way it does business in a multitude of small to sweeping ways, from reducing overtime to possibly privatizing license branches. The efficiency report, ordered by lawmakers two years ago, was completed by the state Office of Management and Budget. It includes more than 100 recommendations for officials' consideration, some of which require legislative action and others that could be ordered by Gov. Mitch Daniels.
Among the "operational" or administrative recommendations are some 24 possibilities for privatization, including state Bureau of Motor Vehicles branches, highway maintenance, school bus inspections and prison work-release programs.
