Gov. Kevin Stitt has appointed businessman and economist Marc Nuttle as the senior adviser of the Oklahoma Division of Government Efficiency as part of his efforts to slim down state government. Nuttle will work on assessing agency budgets and recommending changes to make the government more efficient.
Stitt has expressed his commitment to reducing the number of state employees during his term, and Nuttle’s role is aimed at achieving this goal. Nuttle, who is known for his work in political and economic advising, expressed his dedication to ensuring tax dollars are spent strategically with purpose and accountability.
The Division of Government Efficiency in Oklahoma mirrors the national Department of Government Efficiency created by the Trump Administration. Nuttle is volunteering his time to lead the effort in Oklahoma, echoing President Trump’s outlook on federal regulatory and budgetary reform.
While state employment numbers have remained relatively flat during Stitt’s time in office, efforts have been made to reduce unnecessary positions. The overall number of state employees has increased slightly, but specific areas like state higher education have experienced a decrease in employees.
Stitt’s focus on reducing redundancies and waste in state government has been ongoing, with recent resignations in the mental health department due to a controversial workplace policy. With Nuttle’s expertise and dedication, the government aims to streamline operations and save taxpayer money while maintaining essential services for Oklahomans.
