Bowles: Do you trust the Forest Service to do the right thing?

Valley Voices
In 1995, President Bill Clinton and Vice President Al Gore faced a major problem. Pew Research surveys revealed that only about 21% of Americans trusted their government
to do the right thing.
Norman Bowles
The Clinton White House created the vice president’s Task Force on Reinventing Government (also known as National Performance Review) and tasked it with improving government agency responsiveness to the public. By the end of Clinton’s two terms, public trust polls had risen to 38%
.
As a career federal senior executive, I served as a team leader at National Performance Review for 14 months. One job was to conduct focus groups of randomly selected career federal senior executives from Washington, D.C., and around the country to understand whether they accepted any level of responsibility for the public’s dismal faith in government.

auckland.scoop.co.nz » Stormwater – The Poor Cousin Of The Water Sector

Press Release – Water New Zealand
Investment in stormwater infrastructure is lagging well behind drinking and wastewater investment despite the challenges posed by climate change and the need for the development of water sensitive towns and cities.
The Water New Zealand Stormwater conference gets underway in Tauranga this week (12-14 May) and the focus will be on tackling these issues as well as the government’s three waters reforms.
One of the keynote speakers will be Local Government Minister Nanaia Mahuta, who’s leading the government’s three waters reform process.
Water New Zealand chief executive, Gillian Blythe says that while the government has been very active on drinking water reform, there is also a need for more investment and focus on the management of stormwater networks.

The country's water workforce is struggling to keep up with huge growth and infrastructure demands as decades of underinvestment in pipes is finally being addressed.
Water New Zealand's latest National Performance Review shows $1.6 billion was spent on capital improvements last year.
That's an increase of 44 per cent for water supply and 30 per cent for wastewater expenditure compared to the previous year.
The 2019/2020 review covers about 90 per cent of the population and 42 water suppliers.
