あらすじ・解説
Three small towns in Connecticut are seeking to share an administrator -- the first time that something like this has ever been attempted according to the organization conducting the recruitment. Joining me on the podcast to discuss this innovative approach is Alex Torpey from the Edward J. Collins Center for Public Management at the University of Massachusetts Boston. This shared administrator will be tasked with helping the cities of Canterbury, Chaplin, and Pomfret while technically being employed by the Northeastern Connecticut Council of Governments (NECCOG). Canterbury (pop. 5,000) - Budget of $15,000,000Chaplin (pop. 2,200) - Budget of $9,500,000Pomfret (pop. 4,300) - Budget of $14,000,000 As the demand for public services exceeds revenues and the complexity of local government increases, is it inevitable that consolidation will become more common as jurisdictions seek to walk the financial tightrope? We explore this fascinating recruitment in this episode.
