Under the state's Pacheco Law, for a government entity to privatize its services it must meet numerous requirements, including submitting written statements that prove the private company will provide better services more cheaply than the public employees it replaces, and ensuring "that the citizens of the Commonwealth receive 'high-quality public services at low cost, with due regard for taxpayers of the Commonwealth and the needs of both public and private workers.'"

This will not lower taxes.

I myself hope the union lose for they are trying to have to much power and just because it public employees mean they will give better service period. Everyone know how public employee work and that is very hard at all, most are over pay for what they do.
