Consider the source / Privatization: Jeb's flight of fancy

…… History is usually told by the winners, but what its authors see depends on where they sit. At the time those slabs were posted, memories were probably colored by wistful thinking. Similarly, from former Gov. Jeb Bush's perspective, privatization of Florida government - or "outsourcing," or "competitive sourcing" or "non-core-mission contracting" - probably looks like a bold venture into 21st-century management. In a recent piece written for the Reason Foundation, Bush is almost rhapsodic about the joys of finding ways for corporate America to supplant bureaucracy.
…….. It doesn't contain the word "Convergys," nor does it mention that the Legislature finally intervened to set some standards for state contracting. And Bush's recollection doesn't say how his successor has put some big and troubled projects under review by a special Council on Efficient Government created by the Legislature at the end of the Bush era.
