[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 472798, member: 11791"] JMO, of course... I'd skip the oversight stuff completely. Instead, see what you - or some really good reporter working with you on this - can find out through "access to information" requests... You're not going to ask for individual records, here... you're going to ask for budget info, and statistics... how many clients served, how many of what dxes, what services provided, at what average cost, some measure of success, ... Of course, they do NOT want you to see or know this. They don't want ANYBODY to see or know this. But you will accomplish far more change, far faster, if you can prove that the approaches being taken are costing as much or more than effective alternatives. Anyone on the political front loves to jump on opportunities to get more accomplished, without spending more money. Everybody wins... except the stupid bureaucrats who couldn't figure this out in the first place. This is NOT a fast process. It may take you 2-5 years to even GET the data. But if you really want to change the world... You've got to hit them where it hurts... which is "public image". [/QUOTE]
