[Publib] AP story on library outsourcing

[Marv]

What I found very interesting in covering the Bedford, TX story on LibVibe
was that LSSI apparently was at a conference of the Texas Municipal League
aggressively courting legislators, one of whom took the bait and has been
actively trying to get the library there privatized for a couple of years
now.

Wouldn't we all love to hear the pitch LSSI is making to these officials,
probably at conferences all over the country, so eager to find 'waste' in
government and get folks angry like their cousins in talk radio do every
day?

If you're curious, an interview with a member of the Bedford library board:

and another with a supporter of local control, after the LSSI proposal was
voted down:

three minutes in).
