How about starting with something like garbage collection—–give residents of the state an opportunity to allow private companies to pick up their trash/recycling.
As more and more people sign up, decrease sanitation workers, trucks, equipment which in turn will lead to less pensions, less benefits paid out by the state. The less sanitation workers, lower property taxes to offset for those opting for private pick up.

Ten years ago I lived outside the city limit but in the same county as my city was in. I had to use private collection. They came twice a week and up to my very door (no taking trash to the curb). They didn’t have 13 government Holidays, just 6 like the rest of us. It worked great. Why not have an option? Costs less than I pay now.

Then move on to schools. Let a company start up a private school. If you enroll there your property taxes get lowered, just a bit. Schools lose enrollment. Lose tax dollars. Property taxes go down even more.

If bank tellers can sit in windows all day and provide good (OK, not always) service, why can’t someone operate a DMV bank-style (DMV is ALWAYS a hassle)? You don’t think Administaff has people who could do this? 1099 them?

I went to renew my business license. 5 windows are there and only one person handling a line of 25 people. Again—look to a bank operation.

Little by little can be done to dismantle public unions by giving people a choice. Instead of cutting their benefits and asking them to give some of their own (this pi**es me off, it’s OUR money) for retirement.

Less need for services from city, county, state. Less workers. Less pensions. No “reform”—just eliminate the need.
