The Corbett Administration is trying to cut down on government waste.
The Governor's Innovation Office is working with state agencies to come up with more than 80 million dollars in savings and productivity gains.
CBS 21 sat down with Governor Corbett and talked about one of his projects in progress to save your tax dollars.
"When I entered office we said we had to live within our means,” began Governor Corbett. “We have been doing that for the last two years."
Governor Corbett ran for office on a no-tax pledge, and got two state budgets passed on time. That is not an easy task when it means also trimming the fat.
“Part of that is to reduce spending and make sure we quit wasting money," Corbett continued.
The Corbett Administration is trying to cut government waste on all levels of state government.
At the Department of Welfare, streamlining operations and cutting duplication of services has saved about $1.4 million.
One of the ways to streamline welfare is Corbett's plan to let individual counties split up state money instead of earmarking funds for certain programs.
Right now, 20 counties are participating in the program, which according to the Governor allows them flexibility.
The governor discussed several other issues with us, including the NCAA lawsuit. We will have those for you as well Monday evening.
