Hound, the outsourcing model attempted 15 years ago was doomed to fail. They left the entrenched bureaucrats in place, either on the Fed payroll, or as contractors. The myth was that using the same people, in the same roll, with the same expectations, would be more cost effective. The truth is real change is needed in performance standards and measures, attitudes, and individual accountability for the effectiveness of government service agencies to improve. If through the process some long service folks get left behind, then so be it. Your "salami slice" analogy provides a perfect example of management methods that would be short lived in the private sector. As residents of Alabama, we see the same exact response as departments face proration. Finally, the latest response to WW regarding the GA DoR failure to return calls possibly being related to their detection of his contempt breeds only greater contempt. See, in private industry, consumers vote with their pocketbook. If they are dissatisfied with a product, price or service, they can, and do, take their business elsewhere. Unfortunately, that is not an option when dealing with government employees at any level. Thanks Hound for reinforcing my opinions.
Let us pray "Dear God, please bring on the shutdown. Amen"
