John , as it stands right now , we're paying state taxes to keep employed alot of folks that are somehow connected to a pol/lawyer . This starts at the very top office and spreads to the lowest one . Now that's not to say that all of these folks working in/for the Govt. are somehow any different than anyone else working at a private sector occupation at all . I worked for the state for some time and let me assure you that there are folks working there that go above and beyond at their jobs everyday and then some . But the rotten ones do stick out and as to getting rid of them , good luck ! So there you have it John , in my opinion we taxpayers here in Lil Rhody are paying alot of money to keep certain people employed . BUT ! This the smallest of our states problems, for the same pol/lawyers that gave these folks jobs also bought their votes AND their silence if not out right complicity in all the "deals" the rest of us are paying so dearly for . I've not a clue as to how you can even slow this nepotism down for the minute you enact legislation to stop it the pol/lawyers look for ways to circumvent it to their advantage . But to make matters even worse in this regard , when I left the states employ to start my own biz it seemed the powers that be had started on a course of eliminating thru attrition lower paying positions (as in -actual workers ) to facilitate hiring more management types that usually do nothing of any visible value . The formula seemed to be to let two or three field positions be eliminated to create one office position using the same amount of money . We could hit a point where they'll be no one to actually dig that ditch or fill that pothole or answer that phone for all the money we're spending in taxes ! Case in point , the DMV, Unemployment , DOT , etc. etc. I'm very sure it's the same every where John , just with more accountability as to ones job performance versus political connections .
