Ensemble would cut 1000 municipal jobs
Soraya Martinez Ferrada is promising to cut 1000 city jobs if she and her party win in November.
We’ve seen this before – jobs are cut, expertise is lost, but work still has to be done so contractors are called in to make up for the losses and shortfalls in manpower – at a higher price than having the city’s own employees do the work – and with the contract bidding, the possibility of corruption sneaks back in because there’s nobody left at city hall to judge whether bids are fair or work is being done properly.
It’s an easy promise to make. It’s also a stupid one.

It’s a dumb promise to make UNLESS you have friends in the contracting business.

What, a landlord that likes to cut corners has friends in contracting? Unthinkable.
