Letter to the Editor: Privatize Vector Control
Californaia has thousands of hard-working pest control companies ready to do vector control at a fraction of the cost of government. The government should never compete with the private sector for any service job. The city, county and state are all out of money, and need to start cutting staff like the rest of us. It’s time to get rid of state- or county-run vector control; it’s a complete waste of taxpayers’ money. The government is big enough, and should not be taking jobs from the people who pay them.

I don't agree with this sentiment. One of the functions of Vector Control is to coordinate with other agencies to attack County wide pest problems in a coordinated manner. By keeping it in house both functions can done by less people. Privatizing this function would only add MORE layers of Government, not less.» wrote on 07/05/08 @ 02:39 PM
Sounds like a civil servant, the parcel tax was a waste of money. Most Mosquito problems come from ponds and streams not property owners. Government has learned to sell and cheat to raise taxes.Bill Cirone: Help Children Brush Up on Academic Skills
