* Comprehensive Privatization Reports will assess past, current, and potential efforts at privatization or the competitive bidding of services in stated borough, county, or city. Savings estimates will be made.

** Following the Comprehensive Privatization Reports, individual reports over coming years will analyze in greater detail the potential savings and steps involved in privatizing or bidding specific services identified in the broader reports -- i.e., refuse collection in a specific municipality.
