Mr. McLay is reported to be an excellent speaker and an experienced advocate for <br /> improving public sector operations. <br /> Over the last fifteen years New Zealand has emerged as one of the most progressive and dynamic <br /> economies in the Pacific with a pubic sector economy that is lean and results oriented. The <br /> expenditure of tax payers money in New Zealand is measured by its outcomes and there is a high <br /> level of accountability built into the budgeting and expenditure system. These are innovations that <br /> Hawaii needs to consider as we all explore ways to re-invigorate our sluggish economy. <br /> The Chamber is glad to partner with the Council in promoting Mr. McLay's visit and will provide <br /> a luncheon setting for him to address the broader community after his presentation to the Council <br /> is over. <br /> Again, we support Resolution 167 and congratulate the Council for making time and resources <br /> available to have Mr. McLay share his experience with us. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> effrey Melrose <br /> President <br /> tem.. lI. 52 ~ . d / <br /> >t~. x.. c ~ <br /> ~ resented cAV,~u~ <br /> V(~li.rtrtJ c.., i^ ° Ch.~~n her ni Commerce nt the United tita[es <br /> ls~r. 13ste UCl' I5 <br /> <br />
