Perhaps you could explain how that was taken out of context?
I'll do better than that, I'll show you.
Really?
Thank God!
I thought when I worked for the State my job was to make sure dangerous nurses didn't get licensed! Hell, it cost a lot of money to hold those Nursing Boards (and Physician Boards and Construction Boards, etc.) every three months. Dammit, if we knew then that our job was to "save the state money" we could have forgotten all that and just gone ahead and licensed the bums!
I'm so glad to know now that it didn't matter as long as the State saved money!
Now, we were talking about the purpose of contracting out services, the purpose of which is to save money. That has exactly zero to do with a licensing board job. So why you wanted to distract the conversation to that, I've no idea.
