To pretend that a state agency does not have 'cost' for such things as office space, or attorney services, or IT services is kidding onself.<br /><br />Yes, its a paper transaction. But by charging rent for the nine-story building on State Street (for example) it reflects what the state spends for providing all those Department of Human Services programs. Or the DEQ space on State and on Amite - without having to pay for office space the cost of testing water wells, or ensuring compliance with water regulations would be underreported.<br /><br />Its called - good accounting.<br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-48191543713074442332017-01-20T14:37:21.383-06:002017-01-20T14:37:21.383-06:00Hopefully Trump is a quick study, the stock market...Hopefully Trump is a quick study, the stock market was at its lowest of the day at the end of his speech. When you spit out rhectic about protectionism thats what happens. If he isn't and the country starts to suffer it will take some courageous Republicans to call it out.<br /><br />When the Republicans began to understand the damage that's occurring, I pray that the Democrats don't wait too long to help them out. <br /><br />A lot of people are questioning the legality of Kusher being an advisor. It probably is Un ethical but given his pompous ego and need for agreement we should allow this exception.<br /><br />Hopefully he and Ivanka can keep him focoused, if not we are in trouble.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-64147584516889207302017-01-20T13:54:31.967-06:002017-01-20T13:54:31.967-06:00Hood, you had me at "Child Support Prosecutio...Hood, you had me at "Child Support Prosecution."

For example, why must agencies pay rent to DFA for buildings owned by the state, and why do agencies have to pay fees for Special Assistant Attorneys General who are assigned to them (I know there must be hundreds of other examples)? Somebody please explain this to me, this seems very much like renting a house to myself that I already own, and paying my wife a fee to make mortgage payments.<br /><br />It seems that cutting out the middleman would eliminate wasteful and unnecessary additional handling of funds and the staff required to do so.
