Once upon a time, the idea of government operating like a business sounded good. The problem: government is not a business.

The half-pregnant "logic" of public / private partnerships is a violation of principle, for business & government alike; hence the perversion known as crony capitalism, referring to citizens as customers in paid to prey schemes, consuming their well being, income & assets.

"We've always done it that way," is no excuse or substitute for thinking.

By Constitutional charter, our government can only wear one uniform, that of a referee; no team colors, no confusion of roles.

The gray trade of crony capped public / private partnerships, is a contradiction in terms & violation of what's expected to be professional ethics. This corrupt by design trend, must be, dismantled, eliminated & dissolved; if the republic by rule of law, is to survive.

The scripted corruption of proponent drafted referenda is a symptom of the problem; and a legal vulnerability for the state, if we're a nation of laws.
