The efficiency of privatization is alluring.....many contractors bill 'heavy" when it comes to Gov work & sometimes their estimates are as bad as Gov estimates

Private work is also hampered by ridiculous Gov regulation & safety rules that drive up the cost of everything...in this case child labor law...safety equipment required by OSHA that was not used....EPA rules for toxic graffiti remover that may have not been followed & on and on..  

We really need tort reform so lawyers are not dragging the City & companies into court over every rule and reg, that is where the big costs come from....nobody dare do anything w/ a pack of attorneys, safety inspectors, labor commissioners, environmental activists all staring at their every move

Things our parents/grandparents did easily are now complicated by courts, agencies & Gov oversight to the point of ridiculousness

Example: if there's a tad of lead paint on anything the rules are ominous because a child might eat a chip
that fell off
