New Yorkers: Private consultants and contractors are lining their pockets while they’re picking yours.$250 million is pocketed every year! It's your money. It's your call.
Private contractors and consultants are expensive, inefficient and unaccountable! And — it’s you who’s picking up the bill.
New York state’s increasing use of private contractors to perform public services costs state taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars each year.
Independent audits have proven over and over that state employees do the work better and for less.
Now is the time to tell your state leaders to stop wasting your tax dollars.
Tell lawmakers to pass the GO PUBLIC Accountability Bills that will help keep your tax dollars in your pocket.
Stop taxpayer abuse by passing:
- S.3923/A.1259 — a bill requiring a cost/benefit analysis before contracting-out state services.
- S.1920/A.6542 — a bill requiring state agencies to disclose the cost and number of contract employees they have.
- A.5626 — a bill increasing the accountability of state authorities and off-budget “shadow” agencies.
- A.0009 — a bill restricting lobbyists from influencing the award of state contracts.
Call 1-877-255-9417 and tell your state leaders to pass the GO PUBLIC Accountability Bills!
