Contrary to pro-privatization rhetoric, Florida government is not a big, bloated bureaucracy. In fact, we have the nation’s smallest personnel system, in terms of employment cost per taxpayer and ratio of state employees to population.

And whether service gets better depends on what you’re satisfied with. If you’re the one who decided to contract out for some work, it’s easy to convince yourself that you’re saving the taxpayers money and quality hasn’t suffered. (-g)
