End No-Bid Contracts
Our state government is wasting hundreds of millions of dollars each year by giving no-bid contracts to private consultants. State budget documents show that outsourcing engineering work more than doubles the cost to YOU, the taxpayer. Meanwhile public servants are ordered to stay home without pay. Tired of your tax dollars being wasted on overpaid private consultants while public safety and education are being cut?
Did You Know:
- No-bid contracts are awarded without competitive bidding.
- Outsourcing creates a conflict of interest - private contractors are inspecting the work of other private contractors.
- The Governor’s Department of Finance and the Legislature concluded that a state engineer costs the taxpayers $103,000 a year, but outsourcing the same work costs $232,000.
