[QUOTE="JEVapa, post: 3770257, member: 41176"] I agree with most everything you say. I do however, think the state should lease each of the facilities to some separate SB and provide oversight. They could figure something out for each site. Contracting all the facilities to one entity is and always will be a bad move; it lends itself to massive fraud, waste, and abuse like we're seeing pan out here. The caveat, is that just like the USG, the state GOV does not make anything. They don't make cars, guns, ammo, clothing, they don't produce food or materials, and they don't run SB and restaurants, and on and on. Everyone complains about waste and abuse by the GOV, but then in the same breath complain that said GOV needs to provide [U][I]INSERT SERVICE/PRODUCT HERE[/I][/U]. If you want the state to provide a snack bar or pro-shop or whatever, they'll have to find a vendor and you will pay for it somehow. What we can do is to make sure said vendor(s) are good stewards of our money, and the section of the GOV providing oversight/management is on the up and up. [/QUOTE]
