I believe in locally sourcing work as much as possible, but understand that it's not always realistic in every scenario (ie. sometimes there is no one qualified to meet the requirements, staffing shortages don't allow, etc.)

Contracting out and PPPs should only occur when there are no other options. Unionized workers at the local level should always be prioritized and these models should only be employed as the delivery of public facilities and services when no other options are available to meet the need.
