Abstract:
Contracting services formerly performed by governments, such as garbage collecting and maintaining highway rest areas, have the potential to save funds and increase accountability and efficiency. Recent budget constraints have prompted a debate within the state on whether state and local governments should move in this direction. Finger discusses how privatization could affect state and local services, including refuse collection, water and sewer systems, state art museum and symphony, hospitals, and prisons.
