It's nothing we didn't already know, but the Legislature's Performance Audit Committee has slammed child welfare reform. In short, the Department of Health and Human Services, prodded on by Governor Heineman, moved toward privatization too quickly with too little leadership and too few concrete goals. HHS CEO Kerry Winterer's reaction to the report was no different than it has been all along: Yep, we screwed up royally, but we're gonna get it right this time, we swear!
Perhaps one of these days we'll actually see the performance improvements we've been promised all this time. The downside of that, unfortunately, is that yahoos like Winterer and Heineman will then crow about how they were right all along.
