I am enjoying the ideas being generated to reform government at http://governmentreform.ideascale.com. Those who are interested can submit their ideas by April 15 and let OMB know what they think about the scope and effectiveness of government programs, areas of overlap and duplication, unmet needs, and possible cost savings. Check it out, but vote for others’ ideas before submitting your own. I think you’ll find that someone has already thought of your idea and submitted it.

-2 to 3 on getting rid of unproductive people
-2 to 3 on end of year budget
-I like the zipcar idea
-A bunch on telework
-A bunch on early retirements
P.S. I hate having to log in to vote.
Looks cool, but they don’t make clear how these ideas will be considered. What’s the impact?
http://governmentreform.ideascale.com is not a “Public process”
When I attempt to register to participate, I get the following alert,
“This system is restricted to users with organization issued email addresses – Your email address does not correspond to this. Please use your organization issued email address to register.”
…even though I am using an organizational e-mail.
@Mike – I got the same error. It might be restricted to dot-govs only. If so, what a wasted opportunity…
I think you are right about the “.gov” requirement. This is an OMB site and is designed for internal Federal employees, not the public. I guess the thinking is that current employees have a better insight into the efficiencies and elimination of redundancies than the general public. There are other forums for the general public to voice their discontent with government.
Makes sense – only think I’d do is make that a little more clear up front. What ideas want, from who, how long for, and what doing with them.
Hello. I think its an excellent start! We did the same thing for Citizen Requests and testing things out; take a look. http://publicworksagency.ideascale.com/
