State officials in over a dozen Republican-led states are launching their own versions of the Department of Government Efficiency, inspired by the excitement surrounding Elon Musk's ideas. Governors like Ron DeSantis and Kevin Stitt emphasize their long-standing commitment to budget cuts, claiming they were ahead of the curve ('DOGE before DOGE was cool'). With budgets strained and tax revenues falling, they anticipate cutting jobs, although layoffs appear to be a last resort. However, most initiatives resemble standard legislative cost-cutting committees rather than actual tech-driven changes as seen at the federal level.
In a bid to align with the MAGA base's enthusiasm for efficiency, Republican officials across various states are initiating their own cost-cutting versions inspired by Trump's administration.
Republican governors, including Florida's Ron DeSantis and Oklahoma's Kevin Stitt, tout their early adoption of budget-cutting initiatives, claiming they were 'DOGE' before such trends gained traction.
