Tough Task

REVIEW SUMMARY
Organization. Florida Government Efficiency Task Force
Mission. To provide the Florida Legislature with suggestions on how it can save $3 billion over four years.
Key. The task force will present its recommendations to the Legislature in January.

A big surprise awaited Abe Uccello in July when he scrambled in late to what he thought was a dinner meeting with his friend Steve MacNamara in Tallahassee.

A Sarasota entrepreneur, Uccello planned to talk government inefficiencies with MacNamara, a longtime heavyweight political player in the capital. At the time, MacNamara had been a chief of staff for both a Senate president and a House speaker.
