New Study: Privatization The purpose of this study is to identify those parameters and policy issues to be considered in connection with proposals to transfer federal, state or local government services, assets and/or functions to the private sector. It will review the stated goals and the community impact of such transfers, and identify strategies to ensure transparency, accountability, and preservation of the common good. Get involved with any aspect of this study this winter/spring by checking out meeting and program times on the Calendar of Events or by contacting the study co-chairs, Jessica Moore & Becca Loofbourrow at privatization@lwvindy.org.
