State Auditor’s Post On VTDigger Points Out Huge Flaw In One Of Gov. Scott’s Proposed “Efficiency” Moves Being Announced

UPDATED

According to a story on VTDigger, Gov. Scott will be signing "executive orders" to consolidate several services, including moves impacting Lottery, Liquor Control, DII and Labor. Details remain vague on impact, but in advance of Scott’s announcement, the State Auditor posted this about one proposed move:

"The Agency of Commerce promotes development. One of the important tasks of the Dept. of Labor is to run the Unemployment Insurance and Workers Compensation programs. Putting Labor into Commerce could create an internal conflict of interest between business advocates and those who regulate the behavior of employers in the labor market. As we saw with the EB-5 program, it may not prudent to have both functions under the same roof."
