There’s a strong push to reduce the size and scope of the federal government. Now Kentucky legislators are looking to cut inefficiencies and waste out of state government. A state House resolution calls for the formation of the Kentucky Discipline of Government. The goal is to assess how our tax dollars are spent and to “inform decision makers about how the Commonwealth invests in its future.” On the state Senate side, Kentucky State Senator Lindsey Tichenor is proposing the “Kentucky Office of Government Efficiency,” which would authorize the Kentucky auditor to ensure that state agencies are operating efficiently and responsibly. Tichenor said the focus of a Kentucky DOGE is to hold state “agencies accountable, cutting waste and delivering real results for taxpayers.”
