DeMaio Proposes Ballot Initiative to Reform City Contracting
Provides Millions in Taxpayer Savings and Requires Fair and Open Contracting Rules
Carl DeMaio - November 23, 2009
Councilmember Carl DeMaio today unveiled a voter initiative to hold city government accountable for following fair and open competitive bidding rules for all city contracts. It will also require the city to explore outsourcing support functions -- something voters overwhelmingly approved three years ago but the city has failed to implement.
DeMaio's proposal will save taxpayers millions -- and will ensure that all San Diegans have equal opprtunity to apply for jobs created by city contracts.
