MEDIA ADVISORY: CORRECTED DATES: GOVERNOR CARNEY ANNOUNCES GOVERNMENT EFFICIENCY & ACCOUNTABILITY REVIEW (GEAR) PUBLIC MEETINGS

WILMINGTON, Del. - Governor John Carney on Friday announced the State of Delaware will host Government Efficiency & Accountability Review (GEAR) public meetings in each county as part of an ongoing review of state regulations. Governor Carney and members of his cabinet will host the meetings, and accept public comment on ways to improve state government and the delivery of state services.

The Delaware Departments of Labor; Health and Social Services; Education; Natural Resources and Environmental Control; and Transportation will be among the agencies participating. State of Delaware constituent relations staff also will be available to assist Delawareans with questions or concerns.

"Since taking office, I have talked to Delawareans about our commitment to operating our state government as efficiently and effectively as possible - so we can focus on investing taxpayer dollars where they are needed most," said Governor Carney. "These GEAR public meetings are another chance for us to hear directly from Delawareans on how we can improve our state government - and strengthen our work around education, public health, workforce training, and social service delivery. Members of our GEAR team have done important work to identify statewide improvements, and we are going on the road to hear directly from Delawareans about their priorities."

Governor Carney established GEAR by Executive Order in February 2017 to identify ways for state government to operate more efficiently, and improve the delivery of state services for Delaware families.
