In Pursuit of Government Efficiency

With the state budget deadline looming, the House Republican Policy Committee held a public hearing this week highlighting real-world examples of how state government agencies can operate more effectively without expanding bureaucracy.

The hearing featured testimony from Pennsylvania State Treasurer Stacy Garrity and Pennsylvania State Treasury Policy Director Thomas Armstrong, showcasing Treasury’s measurable successes in modernizing operations, cutting waste and delivering better service to Pennsylvanians – all while keeping spending under control.

Garrity’s results-driven leadership stands in stark contrast to Gov. Josh Shapiro’s proposed budget, which grows government without delivering measurable reform. Instead of bloated bureaucracy, Treasury’s approach reflects what Pennsylvanians expect from their government: smart management, responsible spending and tangible results.
