After studying the dramatic New York city record of crime reduction, improved traffic safety, safety improvements in jails, the doubling of the city parks rated clean and safe, and a two-thirds reduction in welfare caseloads, among other wonders of nature, it has become increasingly obvious that something of a public management revolution has been happening in New York City in the last fifteen years. A case will be made that significant part of the explanation for these public sector performance turnarounds is the strategic use of outcomes and other measures to track and manage public service delivery. Citizen awareness and use of outcomes measures to hold government accountable holds a key to improving government performance at every level and in every functional area. Presenter: Dennis C. Smith, PhD, is an Associate Professor of Public Policy at the Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service, at New York University.

Yet, our national space efforts and programs have become politicized and bureaucratized in ways that retard rather than enhance our access to that endless frontier. Sparking entrepreneurial, scientific and exploratory interest in space demands an agenda that recognizes the need for significant private sector involvement and investment, and further recognizes the national security imperative of space leadership. Former Congressman Robert Walker will discuss ideas for fundamentally changing our space policy. Presenter: Robert S. Walker is Chairman of Wexler & Walker Public Policy Associates and a former Republican Congressman, and is recognized as one of Washington’s leading political strategists.

The promise of greater, yet cleaner energy than that provided by fossil fuel dependence can enhance national security, create worldwide economic activity, and provide a cleaner and healthier future. Former Congressman Robert Walker will present such a vision in a proposal for converting to a hydrogen energy economy which can produce unlimited an unlimited supply of affordable, clean fuel for our future.

The current complex tax system includes several inequities. It penalizes married couples by making them pay higher taxes than single individuals. And many Americans face a death tax that claims a significant portion of their estate after they die. We want to scrap our confusing, unfair tax code and replace it with a simple flat tax of one low rate with no deductions or special interest loopholes.

Themes such as accountability, transparency, and performance-based management will become even more critical. And—through neighborhood empowerment, with more access to information technology and via an increased reliance on non-profit, private sector and faith-based partners in service delivery—the trend of pushing authority and responsibility down from government to neighborhood to citizen becomes not just possible, but inevitable.

We also need to transform education by offering personalized learning that lets students design their curricula to reflect their passions and ambitions. We must transform our health care model to focus on prevention and earlier diagnosis and treatment. We must move from employer-based health care to consumer-based health care. These changes will bring down costs and make health care portable, thus making it more accessible. Presenter: Gov. Mike Huckabee.
