Economy drives Troy to privatize bus service | hometownlife.com | the Observer & Eccentric Newspapers, Mirror Newspapers and Hometown Weeklies: "The Troy school board voted unanimously Tuesday night to outsource transportation services, a move that could save the district $2.5 million over the next three years and give union employees a chance to retain jobs, according to Tim McAvoy, the district's director of community relations. The board approved a three-year contract with First Student, a global company with North American headquarters in Cincinnati. A $10 million budget deficit and the need to borrow from a $28 million fund balance drove the board's decision, according to McAvoy."
----------------------
At least it's a three year contract, so there is some public accountability. Here in Chicago we think more in terms of 75 years, 99 years...the long haul.
