State Government in New Hampshire: A Self-Portrait
Executive Summary |
Full Report (PDF)Brief Description
We compiled this report from the narrative descriptions all state agencies submitted to the Department of Administrative Services as part of their biennial budget request in the fall of 2000. This 90-page paper is a citizen's guide to what state agencies do, as told in their own words. It is a collection of descriptions of the state's various programs exactly as described by the people who work in those programs. Anyone who has wondered what New Hampshire's state employees do will find answers here. Anyone puzzled by the distinctions between the Department Environmental Services and the Department of Resources and Economic Development will find answers. Any legislator hoping to explain what goes on at "DRA" to a constituent should turn to page 18. Reporters and residents concerned about how State government responds to emergencies or provides for the elderly will find assistance here.
