Personally, I'd favor merging agencies into orgs, getting rid of
budgets, adding a general SHALL against willfully/negligently defying
the text of the entity, and then calling the whole thing a contract.
We can put a new (or possibly old) officer, the Notary, in charge of
the whole business. The one major prerequisite to all of this is some
type of judicial reform, but absent objections we could just keep the
current system for now, and improve it later? I'm starting to think
the absence of contracts is one of the causes of the slow economy.
