NJ PING!!!!
JRBC! Long time, no flirt!
Glad to see Christie taking on cuts anywhere he can. State jobs are often patronage positions, too, which institutionalizes the party who maintains the most power over the longest time.

Best governor in the great US of A.
privatizing doesn’t save money. because there is no effective monitoring of performance, quality suffers. but the big deal is htat the work gets done by a company that can be made to contribute to a pol’s campaign in order to win the contract.
so performance suffers, costs rise, accountability goes out the windows, BUT the pols get another source of campaign cash, AND the people are misled into thinking that the pols are finally doing things right.
Gov. of NJ is among the toughest jobs there is.
He is on the right track.
Problem is that privitization of govt jobs ends up costing more than keeping them public.....because you usually end up with friends and buddies of the people in power with those jobs...and.....those private firms have to make a profit to stay in business......you end up spending more money for the same work.
A lot of government entities are getting away from privitization because it is cheaper to keep the public employees...even with the union deals and benefits
Instead of privitizing.....would be better to cut the un-needed jobs. Privitization of government jobs tends to be socialism GOP-style....and ends up costing taxpayers more money in the long run. Most states are reducing their budgets by cutting privitization and hiring back as govt employees
Nice, Christie showing a pair, this should get the unionistas excited. Why, they may even hold a protest rally or something. Way past time to cull the union herd.
I keep liking what I’m hearing from this guy.
Privatize EVERYTHING except police and prosecutors. Everything.
Each time a union contract comes up for negotiation, put it out to bid. Turn all the equipment, records etc. to the winning bidder...and provide them cash incentives to optimize the delivery of efficient services.
Bus drivers? Turn over the entire fleet, shop, parking etc. to a private company. Fire? Outsource the trucks, firestations to a private company. Repeat as necessary.
