Gov. Charlie Crist ordered a top-to-bottom review of privatization in state government Wednesday - starting with the troubled ''People First'' contract with Convergys for online personnel services.
''The review will serve as a starting point for evaluating how to reap the most value from the system, whether privatization has merit - if it does, we should use it, if it doesn't, we should not,'' Crist said at a news conference with Chief Financial Officer Alex Sink.
