Louisiana Public Square - State Contracts 101

Season 10 Episode 1007 | 58m 20sVideo has Closed Captions

Will proposed legislation help rein in costs or create arbitrary caps that hinder?

A big push by Governor Jindal has been the privatization of state government operations which he says will save taxpayer money. To accomplish this, the state has contracted with outside providers for professional, personal and consulting services. Currently, Louisiana has nearly 13,000 active contracts - the majority for $50,000 or more.
