Wisconsin Privatization Commission
June 22, 1998
The Honorable, The Senate:
On behalf of the Wisconsin Commission on Privatization, I am pleased to submit to you our final report as required in the
1995 Wisconsin Act 27. The report provides a summary of the work of the Commission and includes the Commission's vision, goals and recommendations.
The recommendations delineated in the report outline a process that calls for the fair and open examination of state government activities and services and provides a means to determine which activities should be subjected to competitive contracting, given their potential for cost savings and improved efficiency.
Wisconsin currently contracts competitively for a substantial number of services; however, the process documented in this report proposes a far more comprehensive approach to competitive contracting and privatization. The process can be applied by any agency in state government or the State Legislature to determine the competitive nature of the activity and the potential for cost savings.
Anticipating that the next state budget will once again demand tough decisions and difficult choices, we offer the comprehensive process as an additional tool to assist agencies in developing cost-effective budgets. The Commission recommends that all Wisconsin State agencies adopt and implement the Competitive Government Process.
We appreciate your assistance in making a copy of this report available to each member of the State Senate.
Sincerely,
Polly W. Beal, Chair
Wisconsin Commission on Privatization
