Who Does What? Erie County Initiative

The Who Does What? Commission was convened by the Partnership in June of 2000 in response to a request by County Executive Joel Giambra to find ways of cutting Erie County government costs and reducing taxes without compromising services.

One hundred fifteen private sector volunteers spent thousands of hours under the leadership of Commission Chairman Charles Mitschow, retired president of HSBC Bank, Western Region and Partnership Who Does What? Project Manager Kenneth Vetter. The Commission completed its six month study with the release of 17 recommendations carrying estimated annual tax savings of $48 million.

 

 

Who Does What? Niagara County Initiative

The Partnership's Who Does What? Niagara County initiative was undertaken in June of 2002 in response to a request by the Niagara County Legislature to help find ways of reducing the cost of Niagara County government, save taxpayers money, improve the quality of public services and improve the climate of regional cooperation between the county and the 20 local governments within its borders.

The initiative is chaired by attorney Michael Piette, a partner in the Jaeckle Fleischmann & Mugel, LLP law firm. Committees reviewed nine specific management and service functions provided by Niagara County . The Final Who Does What? Niagara County report, identifying more than $17 million in potential annual taxpayer savings, was formally presented to the Niagara County Legislature on May 20, 2003.
