Unless this can be rolled back, they’ll keep growing more authoritarian
When a service agency turns into a contracting agency, it becomes a force multiplier for the service managers who are enabled (with budgets) to use the outside help. It's natural to have some cronyism with contractors who've provided earlier project successes. Usually the contract process tries to eliminate that. The budgets are where the slop comes in. They don't seem to be monitored for efficiency with a government that can print money.

When it becomes a "public/private partnership" - that's when it's gone way too far. That is an ongoing "contract" that gives leverage both ways.
