| said by jig:you can't outsource those decisions. You can outsource labor and expertise. That's what companies like ADP bring to accounting, child support collections, and corporate taxes, they can bring that same expertise to vehicle registration, title transfers, etc. Companies like Prison Corporation of America (etc.) bring expertise to cutting prison costs. There are companies specializing in HR that can take over HR and benefits for those jobs (courts and law enforcement) that aren't outsourced. There are hundreds of companies specializing in contract management that can handle overall administration, and an army of engineering and construction businesses that can easily and cheaply replace Caltrans. All it takes is an expert writing the request for proposals and a solid set of service level agreements that vendors have to meet to avoid penalties.
The only thing blocking the economic salvation of California is the legislature's addiction to union money and it's about time that they got up off of their knees, wiped the union goo off their lips and stated looking out for the taxpayers.

All it takes is an expert writing the request for proposals and a solid set of service level agreements that vendors have to meet to avoid penalties. you see, it's entering into those agreements that's a big problem (at least one of them). if we had the expertise to do that, then we wouldn't need them in the first place.
also - HR is a really screwed up biz. i'd say there are at least 9 completely irresponsible companies for every one that can actually get a job done right. and out of those 1 in 10, maybe half are affordable. there's NO way i'd want a fly-by-night corp doing HR for the court system. i don't think it's needed much for the cops, either, but the review commission needs some teeth (that's a union lobby issue).
here's an example on your side: the management of the colleseum. it's done by a bunch of community leaders that... are idiots. they've never managed anything worthwhile, and they draw a salary, so they're going to drag it down kicking and screaming all the way. all they need to do is label it some kind of protected historical monument (or a portion of it, anyway) and then sell it to USC. That's one thing i'd like the governator (or the mayor) force through.
but the DMV.... i don't know about you, but my experience with the DMV (driver's and MC license) has been great. other than those thieves that were stealing private info (which has the same potential to happen no matter who does it), i haven't heard a complaint in a decade. have you had some problem? as a department, are they paid too much?
steve - what they need you for is auditing/compliance automation with automatic public reporting. wouldn't it be cool to see when an outside contractor missed their completion dates? (well, other than the guy maintaining the reporting system  )
