Freedom information act, and they do not try to point any exemptions for National Security or classification reasons, it would be an unprecedented event as far as i know. The state department is incredibly aggressive. All agencies of the federal bureaucracy are incredibly aggressive impacting information that could be classified. The notion that the secretary of state, in the course of her duties, could write 55,000 pages or receive 55,000 pages of email and not one ioda of it is classified, would be very difficult for me or for anyone who is somebody with the freedom of information act to believe. I am confident it will be an interesting thing because the state department, as they process request, will have to decide they will look at an email and say, this is classified but if they try to read acted as such, they are making a liar out of the Hillary Clinton defenders. It will be interesting to see how they perceive when they hit that conundrum, but i would be shocked if there is not classified information in there. There are people who have been criminally prosecuted for storing classified information on unclassified systems. It is a crime. And we will see what happens as the state department goes through those emails and sees how many are classified, if any. Host you can read more he is the investigation reporter for gaewker. Com.

Martin omalley it is my pleasure to welcome governor Martin Omalley to the center of Public Management here in brookings governance study program. One of the critical problems that we analyze in our work is how to make government work better for the middle class average americans, and for everyone. Martin omalley has been a trailblazer in doing that as governor of maryland for two terms from 2007 22015 and before that, serving two terms as mayor of baltimore. Under his leadership of governor , maryland recovered 100 of the jobs lost during the great recession. He was one of just seven states to maintain a aaa bond rating and the College Board organization named maryland one of the top stations top states in the nation on holding down the cost of college tuition. The state also had the best Public Schools in america for unprecedented five years in a row. Governor omalley compiled a similarly distinguished record as the mayor of baltimore, where time named him one of americas top five big city mayors. He is going to talk today about some of the Public Management tools that he helps pioneered as governor and mayor and produce those results. In particular, ways that he and his team used data to make government work better for everyone. He will focus on among other things, the state stat and city stat programs. After his remarks, bill boston will ask him a couple of questions and we will open the floor to your questions. Ladies and gentlemen, it is my pleasure to introduce governor Martin Omalley. [applause] Martin Omalley thank you. Thank you very, very much. Thank you for your kind introduction and thank you for setting the wheels in motion for this event. This was fun. Thank you all for being here, as well. It is a great honor to be here at brookings today. The people who work in and around this building have done some really outstanding work on analysis and research on government performance. So it is a pleasure to be here with all of you to talk about status driven governing and an issue that is near and your to my heart. Our country and our world face big challenges. Whether it is making our economy work again for all of us, or confronted security threats or Climate Change, but all of those challenges confronting them, will require a government that actually works. You and i see a world where our creativity and imagination have and we can make that so much of that progress possible. And yet creativity and imagination are not exactly the first words that come to mind with most citizens today. When we think about our government, off the bat, what if they were . What if we tackled our biggest problems by using data driven strategies instead of conventional wisdom or the way we have always done it. What if we can make our communities safer by knowing in realtime where crime was actually happening every day and deploying Police Officers to those precise locations at the right times . What if we could put an end to lead poisoning of children instead of ignoring it as if it were a problem that just could not be solved . What if we improve Public Safety by using big data and the experience now that we have of years to actually identify that small percentage of probationers and parolees who are truly the greatest threats to Public Safety . And what if, by sharing medical records and targeting the personal interventions, we could actually cut avoidable Hospital Readmissions by 10 a year, every year . Imagine if the overall performance of any school could be measured over time so that citizens and parents could actually see where we were headed. Imagine if one common platform not only measured the job skills and greatest demand in a given county or metro area, but also allowed employers to find the skilled workers and they need an unskilled workers to obtain the training they need to fill the jobs being created in this new economy. As you might have guessed in baltimore and in maryland, we did all of these things. And more. This, my fellow citizens, it the new way of governing. And it is not about excuses deflecting blame, or ignoring problems. It is about transparency. And open its accountability and openness, accountability management, and it is not about left or right. It is about doing the things that work and move us forward. It is also about setting clear goals, measuring progress, and quite simply, getting things done again. You see, the old ways of governing, bureaucracy hierarchy, these things are fading away. A new way of governing is emerging, and it also calls for a new way of leadership at every level. Leadership that embraces a culture of accountability, embraces entrepreneurial approaches to problem solving and embraces collaborations. Leadership, in other words, that understands the power of technologies like smart maps and gis, and internet, to make the work of Progress Making open and visible for every citizen. This new way of governing has quietly taken root in cities and towns all across our country and it is happening in blue states as well as red states. It is pursued honestly and relentlessly and holds the promise of a more effective way of governing at every level of our public life, local state and yes, federal. Our approach to this was actually born in the subway system of new york city. In the early 1990s, there lived a great man named jack maple lieutenant maple actually, of the new York City Transit police and lieutenant jack maple believe there was a better way to deploy his Police Officers then the way they had always done it. And with nothing more sophisticated than paper maps and colored markers, jack started plotting where and when robberies took place on his section of the subway. He called these maps of the future. Many transit officers were sent to stop criminals where they were most likely to strike, at the times they were most likely to strike, and he put in his own words, the cops on the dots. And jack and his Police Officers drove robberies down to record low levels. The media came calling and then you Police Commissioner came calling. And soon, jack was not just plotting out a strategy for part of the subway, he was made the deputy Police Commissioner of the entire new York City Police department and developed a system that came to be known and used all across the country called compstat. And the nypd, under his command and the leadership of bill bratton, went on to reduce Violent Crime to levels that very, very, very few people ever would have thought possible in new york city, 20 years ago. New yorks ongoing success in reducing crime and saving lives quite literally led to a revolution of performance measured policing in cities and towns all across the United States. And one of the first of those major cities was my city of baltimore. You see, when i was elected mayor in 1999, our city had sadly allowed for allowed ourselves to become the most violent, and abandoned city in america. With more population loss over the prior 30 years than any major city in our country. And at the beginning of our administration we were able to put an additional 20 Police Officers on to the streets of baltimore, which presented us with a really important question. Where to send them. Now, we could have deployed them equally, to each of the six Council Districts. That would be one way to do it. Or if we wanted to be really political about it, we could deploy them to the Council Districts with the highest numbers of primary voters. Or if we wanted to be really, really political about it, we could deploy them to the districts where the greatest numbers of people voted for me. Or or, we could actually deploy them to the concentrated hot spots where the greatest number of our citizens were being shot, mug, or robbed. Mugged or robbed. This is the process we chose. We repeated that compstat process to better save lives and prevent crime. Over the next 10 years, baltimore went on to achieve thanks to courageous Police Officers and neighbors, some of the biggest Crime Reductions, in fact, the biggest Crime Reduction in part one crime of any major city in america in those ensuing 10 years. There is a baseball equivalent of this comstat strategy. Some call it money ball and some call it the shift. You put your fielders were the past performance of the upcoming hitter says they are most likely to hit the ball. You put your police were crime is most likely to happen. The shift, the deployment of resources to maximum dissent affect. That is data driven thinking. It helps in ballgames and it helps make the city safer. We brought this new way of governing and getting ink done it not only to our police the whole enterprise to city government. We became the first major city in america to do so. We started to create a new culture. A new culture of Higher Expectations in city hall. Accountability, transparency meritocracy, senate centered around results. The constant search for better ways to get things done. The leaders started to emerge and we recognized them and their colleagues were able to see who their own leaders were in their organizations by the performance. We set high goals and used data to tell us whether or not the things they were doing were working every day and every week. Our city stat approach like compstat was built on four principles, for tenants. Timely accurate information, robert Rapid Deployment of resources. Relentless followup and strategies. Every two weeks, if you can picture this scene, on a constant and rotating basis, my team and i would hold city stat meetings with the agency or Department Heads and their Leadership Teams up on the sixth floor of city hall, in the big room, with the big boards, and the screen projectors that would project the data that the department had and the agency had submitted prior to the meeting. Everything was mapped out. And everything was indexed to the previous reporting periods of two weeks before. So everybody could see and everybody would know. Ideas were shared and questions were fired back and forth. If we failed to hit a goal, we wanted to know why. If we had a goal, we wanted to know how. So we could do it again, and again. It worked. We reduced the poison of blood in our city by 71 . Early on, when the former inpatient and irascible mayor of but baltimore, William Donald schaefer. We responded with a 48 hour pothole guarantee. Our crews actually hit that guarantee and they hit it 97 of the time. And each of the members of those crews got a thank you note from the mayor when they did it. The Kennedy School at harvard in 2000 and one gave us 2001 gave us our innovations in government award. Our innovation was that we started measuring outputs instead of just inputs. And of course, we did not really do city stat to win awards. We did it to survive. That by the way, is the International CityInternational Mission statement of every mayor. For many years in our city, it seemed like the drug dealers or more effective than our own government. But thank you to city stat, that reality was starting to change. When i was elected governor of maryland in 2007, we took this approach statewide. We called it states that. Statestat. The goals are bigger and more diverse, but it was data driven Decision Making, collaboration followup, and results. And we shared those results, good or bad with an online dashboard so that every citizen could access it and see where we stood as a people and where we were going with that important tool of ours, our government. With this approach, we achieved something in Public Safety like a Public Safety triple crown. We drove incarceration to a 20 year low and reducing recidivism by nearly 20 . There are not many states that did that. With this approach, our teachers, students, parents, and kids with the backing they needed from us made the Public Schools the best in the nation for an unprecedented five years in a row. That had never happened before and we did in the middle of a recession. We cut in half the number of children placed in foster care, driving that down to the lowest levels on record. We set a goal of reducing infant mortality by 10 , and when we hit that goal, we kept going and we reduced infant mortality by more than 70 overall and 25 among africanamerican families. We took on the big challenge of health care costs, with a commitment and the goal of driving down preventable Hospital Readmissions, by creating a platform for Health Care Providers to share patient information. By mapping the incident and the locations of chronic conditions and people who suffer from them, and by aligning the providence profit incentives to wellness rather than to sickness. We drove down a
