CA Mayor Says Privatize libraries in their interest

Privatize libraries in their interest
At a time when the California Legislature has slashed critical programs and services in an effort to balance its own budget and is considering the need to increase some taxes, the $28 per year special library tax that Santa Clarita residents had been paying for library operations was eliminated, due to the fiscally responsible actions of the locally elected Santa Clarita City Council. In this era of diminishing funding for local government services and over extended budgets, contracting for library services is one way to improve libraries, while reducing the tax burden on our residents.

    Contracting is Not Cheaper
    This “cheaper” for the taxpayer argument is bogus.

    A new study by the Project On Government Oversight revealed that contractors earn 1.83 times more than public employees.
