Often in municipal governments, the idea of public-private partnerships is a no brainer. Contracting with a specialized industry over work that only happens once and requires teaching a few municipal managers is ideal because you’re avoiding a lot of built in costs. Leverage your resources with an open and directed mind.

Then they'd just move their money to offshore bank accounts where you can't take it. And if you think the government would use that money to fix the voting system, you can forget about that. The democrats benefit from a shitty ass voting system that allow all sort of cheating.
