Message from Governor Charlie Crist
Each year, the Legislature fulfills its constitutional duty to pass a budget that provides state government with billions of dollars of your money. The Governor is responsible for signing the state budget and for managing state agencies charged with spending the people’s money wisely.
In everyday life, if we pay someone to work for us - whether it is to cut our yard, cook us a meal, or provide us with electricity - we expect performance.
The taxpayers of Florida should expect no less from the government they fund. The money that government spends should make a difference.
These performance measures will not only provide you with a window into your government, it will also provide our managers with important tools to build upon successes and address shortcomings. This Web site provides a running scorecard of a broad range of measures reflecting trends in key areas important to all Floridians. You can also access any measure at a Governor’s agency from this site.
I believe that you cannot manage what you do not measure. With your help and input (click "Your Suggestions" to give us input), we will do a better job for the people of Florida.
Keep score with us.
