Ulterior Motives

I'm glad to note that, when faced with claims of the in-plant's inefficiency, the state hired an outside auditor to collect data, rather than just trusting hearsay (and ulterior motives). Too many in-plants have been closed without any effort to gather performance and cost data.

The audit report likely made State Auditor Brian Sonntag grit his teeth, after earlier calling for PRT to be privatized. The report's tacit acknowledgement that perhaps having an in-plant isn't such a bad thing after all was validated when PRT was named the recipient of the In-Plant Printing and Mailing Association's prestigious Management Award, which recognizes it as an outstanding in-house publishing operation that excels in efficient management practices.
