But in certain small towns in MO. the DMV is run (very well in fact) by private contractors that submit bids to run the Dept.
Employees are NOT on the state 'teat'.

That makes sense. At least privatization would encourage efficiency, since in order to attain maximum profitability, the private agency has to process people quickly and efficiently. They don't get paid any more for being schlubs about it, as with the conventional model.
I don't like the idea of having to pay government for stuff my taxes ought to already cover (roadway use, etc.) but if I have to get double-dipped, I'd rather it be by an (efficient) private contractor than some rude, surly "traditional" tenured state worker that can never be fired and is just doing the job as a virtual welfare benefit to those who would never last five minutes in the private sector.
