The time to do...Osborne's article is right on. The time to do this was last year, when Greg Harris proposed it (and was nailed by the police & fire unions). Then the city would've had an entire year to vet competing bids to contract for safety. The FOP would've really needed to pare down its bloated contracts in order to compete for 20111 services.
