    Nearly 60% of the state's budget is spent on contracted services, however there are no standards or oversight for these contracts, meaning billions are spent each year without accountability. It is time for all state contracts to be made public and shine light on how taxpayer money is being spent. There must be transparency for all state contracts, including standards for what services contractors must provide and financial penalties for failing to fulfill contracts.
