Commission on Government Efficiency (COGE)

planned

COGE is a Charter Revision Commission aimed at improving how New York City government operates. The commission will review the city’s governing charter to identify ways to modernize services, streamline operations, and ensure agencies are better equipped to meet residents’ needs. It plans to hold public hearings across all five boroughs and put forward proposals for reform to be presented to voters on the November ballot. The focus includes cutting bureaucratic delays, improving agency flexibility, modernizing government systems, and eliminating outdated rules that slow infrastructure projects.
