Maryland Delegate Introduces State Bill to Limit Gov Competition w/ Private Sector
Delegate Michael Hough is proposing a bill to the Maryland General Assembly that "would establish a Council on Efficient Government to receive complaints when the government is competing with the private sector and to recommend to the state how duplicate services could be eliminated. The task force would also seek opportunities for the state to outsource to private business." Among those supporting the proposed legislation is MAPPS. The organization "has written to the state to complain that state universities are offering mapping departments that directly compete with private businesses."
