Sandy Springs, the poster child for Three-Pee-UhOh, is doing an about face by bringing much of the City's services in-house abandoning the over-hyped "run government as a business" concept. Seems vendor stickiness along with constant price increases was headed towards the level of bloat and excess that is the exclusive domain of governments. No amount of back room deals or no-show jobs for friends and family can make up for trespassing on government sovereignty. Hopefully they've calculated the risk of in-sourcing: previously hidden operations will now be subject to transparency and open records requests. What could possibly go wrong?
