Governor Sonny Perdue has formed a commission to make recommendations on how to restructure Georgia's Department of Human Resources.
Perdue says it's about making the department more efficient and cost-effective. In the meantime, Perdue expressed his satisfaction with DHR chief BJ Walker, but says he'd like to see the department do better.
"It looks to me like we had given her an extremely hard and complicated job, and expecting the standard of excellence in all of these areas. And that's why we want to see if we can align things better for better management".
Perdue appointed Walker to head the state's DHR in 2004. The department's annual budget is 2.8 billion dollars, and employs 19-thousand people. The commission's report is due sometime this summer.
