COGE

As the Trump administration’s Department of Government Efficiency has made sweeping cuts to federal spending, members of New Hampshire’s Commission on Government Efficiency say they're looking to the long term.

Gov. Kelly Ayotte set up the group at the start of her term.

Ayotte created the Commission on Government Efficiency, which she refers to as “COGE,” in her first executive order as governor.

Operational details on the commission, which Ayotte created by executive order hours after she was sworn into office, remain scant.
