As if government doesn't waste enough money, now you want a private company with a profit motive to run it? Yeah, they'll bring their hatchets with them and anything that doesn't increase their profits will be gone. Government is not a for-profit enterprise!!! It is such bs to think that a private firm with no outside ties to the community would do anything to help citizens. Haven't there already been enough examples of private firms taking the money and not doing the job? Take a look at the Section 8 program. How many private firms have been contracted to run this program? Take a look at their results and imagine our entire government run with that kind of efficiency. It is the height of irresponsibility to cede control of local, state and national government to for-profit entities. You're not saving money, increasing efficiency or providing necessary services; all you do is provide profit to owners!!! Is that what you want, to be owned?!!!


There are private companies that could do a great job of running a city, turn a profit, and save the tax payers money.  Just look into how successful charter schools, prisons run by private companies, private ambulance services and anything else privately run compared to publicly run is.

Not even a comparison.

Tudor,

Prisons run by private companies do not promote justice! They have to have more prisoners to make their prison profitable so now you have more laws and we go back to the idea of "debtors prison". Please name me a private company that could run a city, turn a profit and save taxpayers money. That is the biggest load of bulls*** I've heard in a long time!!!
