The Who Does What? Commission was convened by the Partnership in June of 2000 in response to a request by County Executive Joel Giambra to find ways of cutting
Erie
Countygovernment costs and reducing taxes without compromising services.

Project Manager Kenneth Vetter. The Commission completed its six month study with the release of 17 recommendations carrying estimated annual tax savings of $48 million.
