On Outsourcing Redding Services

Posted on October 21, 2009 by Dugan Barr

Commentary Should the city of Redding move forward with privatizing many or most civic functions except for police and fire?  I think this is one of those sounds-good ideas that will not stand up to specific scrutiny. The idea, as I… Continue Reading →
