Looks like hiring a private company to run the winfield vets home didn't get any interest. I had mixed feelings about it — good to save money but you wonder whether the responsibility and accountability would be there. You hear some horror stories about private firms running prisons, for example, but they can do well with other things the public must have — utilities, hospitals, etc., with enough oversight. The govt. doesn't exactly have a great track record with veterans facilities - ie. Walter Reed Hospital.
Read a story not long ago about cities privatizing utilities - trash, water and sewer, especially — services to save money. Seemed like a mixed bag there, too.
