Or eschewed the payments altogether.James Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15983017193858666436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10559060.post-39102104765276215682007-04-10T23:42:00.000-04:002007-04-10T23:42:00.000-04:00The most interesting thing to me from that article...The most interesting thing to me from that article was the cost per person the county pays Didlake for this "service". Serving 200 people,, they pay 4 million a year, or about $20,000 a year per "employee". That's to Didlake -- the clients of course get jobs which pay poorly, and I think Didlake then kicks in some money for the clients.<BR/><BR/>But that is a lot of money per job. I believe that private organizations can do a better job than government, but I am beginning to wonder if "quasi-private" organizations funded by government and official corporate fundraising (united way) are really efficient, or if they simply fall into the same wasteful trap that government does, knowing they can easily get more money.Charleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04551264439871137611noreply@blogger.com
