Kansas passes bill to study ways to outsource government work

[^_^ 5,021]

TOPEKA – After a lengthy floor fight, the House today passed a bill establishing an 11-member commission to study ways to outsource public jobs.

...

According to House Bill 2194, the council’s main responsibility would be to “review and evaluate the possibility of outsourcing goods or services provided by a state agency to a private business or not-for-profit organization that is able to provide the same type of good or service, and whether such action would result in cost savings to the state.”

...

Outnumbered Democrats taunted conservative Republicans, saying that in creating another commission, they are expanding government in order to shrink it.

...

A Democratic amendment, that would have specified that funding to pay for the council’s expenses come out of the governor’s office budget, was turned aside.
