Let's discuss Indiana's FSSA privatization

Obviously the big reason it's making any news right now is that Democrats and Unions were against the initial privatization. The "spokespeople" are a bit suspect coming from virtually non-existent ACORN like groups. I'd be curious where they're support comes from.

If you know something about the actual services provided, I'd love to hear your comments.

But to argue that something won't work primarily because it's being done with less money and less workers, is pretty 1970 liberal.

Key words in Mr. Cardwell's quote "more money" ... for what? More money is no solution. Oh yeah, one more misleading thing: Nancy Griffin is his wife, not necessarily another prized expert, not sure that was divulged at this mock press conference to attack Mitch Daniels.

Come one step right up and tell me about the actual services being provided and actual people we're helping, not the people who are mad that they used to do the work more expensively.

The opponents included John Cardwell of the Indiana Home Care Task force; Nancy Griffin, a volunteer investigator; Jim Wallihan of United Senior Action; Andrea Smothers, a resident ombudsman with Indiana Legal Services in Lafayette; and Katie Bunder, executive director of Food Finders Food Bank.

"Humpty Dumpty has been pushed off the wall. It will take a lot of money and duct tape to get Humpty Dumpty back together again," he said.
