“But responsible governance is not only about revenue, it is also about discipline. That means finding savings across city government, reducing bureaucratic waste, and rendering agencies more efficient and cost effective.

They will consolidate redundancies in source programs that have been outsourced to bloated consultant contracts and eliminate extraneous programs.” (07:23–07:29)
