We often say that if we ran our businesses the way a Department runs its business, we would not be in business. We need a model for accountability that will bring in design and delivery, give us more bang for our buck and make sure projects are delivered on time. Then we may not have to increase taxes and could instead curtail what we have and spend it properly.
