State's Privatization Fiasco

Dear Editor,

To its credit, the Chronicle has been extensively writing about the privatization fiasco at HHSC, perhaps the only publication educating the public about the tax dollars wasted in this endeavor. I wish to extend this goal by informing the public about a similar boondoggle concerning HB 1516, enabling the Texas Department of Information Resources to privatize numerous state services. This plan will be detrimental to many Texans and must be addressed. Therefore, I have crafted a Web site with background information about DIR's nefarious plans (www.geoci ties.com/momus_98) and encourage all persons to speak out against this plan. It is important that people know how the state plans to spend the tax dollars it has collected.
