re: #173 William Barnett-Lewis
It has been my experience, here in Wisconsin over several decades and many governors, that Privatization=rip off the public. Every time it happened service quality decreased and cost increased.
It’s rather like knowing that when a contract for road construction is let only the Republican companies ever win the bids and never pay penalties for being late & over budget.
How was it when the Dems controlled the governors mansion? Because I can tell you that where I live it’s only companies owned by Democratic donors who “ever win the bids and never pay penalties for being late and over budget.”
I think the real answer to that problem is some type of non-partisan oversight, although who would watch that watchman is the difficult part.
