Government
Contracting by the State of Ohio
This April 2002 report finds
that State of Ohio spending on services from outside vendors has
skyrocketed over the past decade, nearly tripling since 1991. As a
proportion of payroll, state purchases of outside services (like
data-processing) more than doubled over the past 10 years. Despite
heavy pressure on the state budget, the state has done little to scrutinize
this spending trend or put systems in place to monitor outside contracting
and ensure accountability.
