Our...This is responsible saving of our tax dollars. Our tax dollars should not be going to unnecessary or overly expensive functions, like license plates, like printing government forms, like simple furnishings, etc. The long track record is that contracting out functions virtually never saves taxpayer money and is more expensive to the taxpayer. Taxpayers are not the printers or furniture makers or the marketeers meal ticket.<br />John KelleyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329279.post-64171010556311622992010-01-20T06:19:16.780-07:002010-01-20T06:19:16.780-07:00Governor Rounds wants to expand State competition ...Governor Rounds wants to expand State competition with private industry? Pheasantland Industries is 30-cents per hour prison labor and they do much more than license plates. They compete with every printing company, office supply store and contractor in the state. The State uses prison labor to print forms, brochures, and business cards for government offices and non-profits, which takes away from the private sector. They also build office furniture, desks and products for those same entities. Back in Janklow's reign, he wanted to force all state-funded offices and non-profits to purchase all their printing and office needs from prison industries, but it was battled by SDPI, SDRA and other groups. Prison Industries also builds Governor's Homes, which at least teaches prisoners a usable trade, but also unfairly competes with 30-cent per hour wages. This is a wolf in sheep's clothing, regurgitated to take advantage of our economic downturn and slip through the cracks.GoldManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09478566547133172418noreply@blogger.com
