Your decisions may vary depending on your view of the role ofthe public servant in democratic society, your personality, and your view on the flexibility or discretion inherent infollowing the law as written down.”Weekly Summary Question: What is the proper role of the public sector bureaucrat in a networked society?Class Seven: June 28 Human ResourcesPAPER ONE DUERead:Find and read an article on the history of the merit system in federal, state and local governmentMP Chapter Five Elton MayoPA Chapter 5 Public Personnel AdministrationQuestion:Does Human Resources in the public sector add value to organization performance?Class Eight: July 5 Reuben Askew and how to be a truly outstanding public servant.Research, read and write a two-three page paper for the purpose of a class discussion. (New Times Roman 12point type single spaced) You will turn in the paper at the beginning of class. You will present your paper insummary form of approximately 5 minutes. This activity will be factored into your overall class participation gradeand will count for 25% of your class participation grade. Some of the papers posted may be selected for inclusionin the test material. The subject follows: Reuben Askew as Governor of Florida fought for open government in aconstitutional amendment and in other ways. Based on your research list three elements Governor Askew thoughtof as important in open government and explain why each was important as it related to governmentalperformance and the institutions of democracy. Compare those three elements to newspaper accounts betweenthe years of 1979 and 2009 of state and local government individuals and programs in Florida that appeared,according to the press, to violate each of the elements you found. Provide a summary or summaries from the timeperiod covered of an example(s) that violated each one of the three elements you identified. You may use morethan one example, if necessary, to cover each of the elements. Be sure to include citations. You may find LexisNexis helpful.A point of beginning for your effort follows: On July 29, 2013 the Tampa Bay Times writes “It was in that roomwhere Askew, as a young senator in the late 1960s, helped force rural "pork chop" senators to redistribute politicalpower based on the principle of one man one vote, even though "Rube" himself came from prime pork chopterritory: Pensacola."I don't think they ever forgave me," Askew said.

Askew is considered one of Florida's greatest governors. The Kennedy School of Government at Harvard Universityrated him one of the 10 best in the United States in the 20th century.He was elected in 1970 on a risky populist platform that included taxing profits of corporations the wayneighboring Georgia did He stressed racial diversity and peaceful desegregation of schools, modernized an antiquated judiciary and in 1978,during his last year in office, stopped casino gambling.When a recalcitrant Legislature refused to pass ethics reform after a series of scandals, he took his case straight tothe people and voters wrote the "Sunshine Amendment" into the Constitution, with financial disclosurerequirements and limits on post-employment lobbying by elected officials.”Class Nine: July 12 PUBLIC Policy . it happens a lot.Read: MA Chapter 8 LindblomPA Chapter 8 Policy AnalysisChapter 7 Herbert SimonNP: Chapter 6 Two Kinds of Rationality and Their Implications for New Puplic Governance by Michael SpicerResearch the public policy term “garbage can theory” and read at least one article.Weekly Summary Question: If you have to be the public policy maker, how will you do it?Class Ten: July 19 Note: The readings below are the basis for the Second PaperIt is due this week along with a presentation you will make to the class.Test Handed OutRead the complete article from which the following is an excerpt.Aaron Wildavsky, in the article Doing Better and Feeling Worse: The Political Pathology of Health Policy, Daedalus,Vol. 106, published in 1977 writes “Health policy is pathological because we are neurotic and insist on making ourgovernment psychotic. Our neurosis consists in knowing what is required for good health (Mother was right: Eat agood breakfast! Sleep eight hours a day! Don't drink! Don't smoke! Keep clean! And don't worry!) But not beingwilling to do it. .”He continues ” According to the great equation, Medical Care equals Health. But the Great Equation is wrong.More available medical care does not equal better health. The best estimates are that the medical system(doctors, drugs, hospitals) affects about 10 per cent of the usual indices for measuring health: whether you live atall (infant mortality), how well you live (days lost due to sickness), how long you live (adult mortality). Theremaining 90 per cent are determined by factors over which doctors have little or no control, from individual lifestyle (smoking, exercise, worry), to social conditions (income, eating habits, physiological inheritance), to thephysical environment (air and water quality). Most of the bad things that happen to people are at present beyondthe reach of medicine.

Everyone knows that doctors do help. They can mend broken bones, stop infections with drugs, and operatesuccessfully on swollen appendices. Inoculations, internal infections, and external repairs are other good reasonsfor keeping doctors, drugs, and hospitals around. More of the same, however, is counterproductive.Nobody needs unnecessary operations; and excessive use of drugs can create dependence or allergic reactions ormerely enrich the nation's urine.More money alone, then, cannot cure old complaints ”He asks: “Why should government pay billions for health and get back not even token tribute? If government isgoing to be accused of abusing the poor, neglecting the middle classes, and milking the rich; if it is to becondemned for bureaucratizing the patient and coercing the doctor, it can manage all that without spendingbillions.Slanders and calumnies are easier to bear when they are cost-free. Spending more for worse treatment is as bad apolicy for government as it would be for any of us. The only defendant without counsel is the government. Whatshould it do?The Axiom of Inequality cannot be changed; it is built into the nature of things. What government can do is tochoose the kinds of inequalities with which it is prepared to live. Increasing the waiting time of the rich, forinstance? That is, having them wait as long as everybody else? may not seem outrageous. Decreasing subsidies inNew York City and increasing them in Jacksonville may seem a reasonable price to pay for national uniformity.From the standpoint of government, however, the political problem is not to achieve equal treatment but to getsupport, at least from those it intends to benefit. Government needs gratitude, not ingrates.The Principle of Goal Displacement, through the double-displacement effect, succeeds only in substituting accessto care for health; it by no means guarantees that people will value the access they get. Equal access to care willnot necessarily be equated with the best care available or with all that patients believe they require.Government's task is to resolve the Paradox of Time so that, as things get better, people will see themselves asbetter off ”He concludes, “Health policy is pathological because we are neurotic and insist on making our governmentpsychotic. Our neurosis consists in knowing what is required for good health (Mother was right: Eat a goodbreakfast! Sleep eight hours a day! Don't drink! Don't smoke! Keep clean! And don't worry!) but not being willingto do it. Psychosis appears when government persists in repeating this self-defeating play. Maybe twenty-firstcentury man will come to cherish his absurdities.”Class Eleven: July 26 BudgetingNPG Chapter 4 A value Based global Framework for New Public Governance by Morgan, Larsen, Bao and WangAccounting for Changes in the U.S. Budget Deficit By Troy Davig and Michael RedmondTrust Matters: Enhancing Government Legitimacy through Participatory Budgeting Rachel SwanerAugust 2 Class Twelve Turn in Test and Discussion Summary of the TermOther important Information
