if they do the contract way of getting services, that will bring them kind of close to what the feds are doing with IT services.
they are using contractors as a way to get a fresh workforce in for considerably less than what they would pay for the same amount of government pension workers....
hmmm, I don't think I would ever want to take over any organizatoin (be it a state government or a small business)that was intrusted to the care of a liberal for an extended period of time. They just seem to screw everything up so much. It would just be a royal pain in the a** trying to fix it all.
For the record, they live in Northern CA, about an hour or two west of Tahoe.
California is undoubtedly the most beautiful state in the lower 48. The mountains are amazing. The forests are something to behold. My Pop has a 150 tall Sugar Pine in his front yard.
Hundreds of thousands of acres are open to the public to enjoy as well.
However....after several visits to that most wonderful State I must tell you that I have concluded that a majority of its residents must be certifiably insane. I base this conclusion on what I have seen and heard of the State Government.
Now, I have no dog in the "Ahnold" thing. I wish him all the luck in the world reforming California State government. It's just I don't think that Jesus Christ himself would be able to sort out the mess that the citizens of CA have brought upon themselves.
It's really sad. California is so wonderful. You'd think that it would attract the best and brightest of Americans. In a lot of ways it has, but it has also attracted the most bizzare collection of lunatics I've ever seen in my life.
Especially along the coast line.
Oh well, consider this the end of my rant. I had such a great time visiting the fam over Thanksgiving in North CA. It's just a shame that the place is run by its citizens.
