State Senator Mitch Seabaugh (R-Sharpsburg) has recently been appointed by Lieutenant Governor Casey Cagle to chair the Senate Task Force on Value Government. The Task Force is responsible for identifying specific areas where government services can be delivered more effectively and efficiently to the citizens of Georgia.

“We are eager to find specific legislative and budgetary changes that could bring greater value to each dollar spent in our state,” said Sen. Seabaugh. “I am honored to be appointed chairman of this important task force and look forward to serving with my fellow Senators.”

The Task Force also will work in coordination with the Commission for a New Georgia to make recommendations to the legislature for legislative or budgetary changes to improve service delivery or lower the cost of services.

Translation: outsourcing, outsourcing, outsourcing.

This is the strategy for the State to put public dollars and responsibility for services to the public in private hands. There is no guarantee that those private hands will not be a customer service call center in Mumbai or a Chinese owned construction company. Now, outsourcing in itself is not a bad thing but the profit motive guarantees that the public will not be better served but the private industries will be much better paid. And eventually, your taxes will increase to pay more for less.
