What you describe, Wayne1207, is the elephant in the room that exists at every level of government.  Couple this with the public sector unions' continuous demand for more perks easier working conditions, and more money, and we end up with enormous waste of taxpayers' hard-earned money on overstaffed, over-compensated government employees.  Oh, and don't forget about all of the useless consultants soaking up their portion of the gravy.  
If tax dollars were spend properly, we would have excellent public services; instead we put up with less service, even as taxes go up whenever a new budget is delivered.
Why doesn't the media use the freedom of information act and look into government waste of our money?
