In Florida, when Jeb Bush took over he cut the number of FDOT's employees by 25% over a five year period.
At the same time he increased our "consultant" budget astronomically so that we could hire private firms to do what we used to do in house. Our overall expenditures ballooned. We had so much consultant money we had to have special meetings to try to brainstorm how we were going to spend it all.
We were also required to report all money spent for "consulting" under "production". That way our "productivity" went way up. It was such a fucking scam.
