Phoenix bans tax rises by hiring public works like a business
In 1978 Phoenix faced rising city needs and shifted garbage collection to private bids. The Public Works team bid competitively, losing a district but reducing costs and taxes overall. By 1989 the city reclaimed all districts, saving millions and cutting per-household costs 4.5 percent annually since 1979. The approach fostered ongoing competition with private firms.
