State Government

The Governor wants to "blow up to box" of state government, turning over many of the state's responsibilities to private contractors without any proof that the switch will result in lower costs or better service. His outsourcing proposals would replace the professionals who work with developmentally disabled adults, the mentally ill, and prisoners with private contractors not accountable to taxpayers. In some cases, the contract employees earn more than the state employees they replace.
