like job site inspectors and so on.

If you've never worked for a government agency, you may not know that if you fail to use up your budget for the fiscal year, next years budget is cut by that amount.

Then guess what happens? You spend every penny whether it is necessary or not. So the County Inspectors just bought about 1/2 dozen full sized trucks. Do they haul equipment? No. Do they go to impassible places? No. Do they need full sized contractor white pick ups? Hell. No.

But they've got them anyway and now they are out tooling around the county, sucking up gas like there's no tomorrow.

woo-hoo government foresight and conservation
