When it comes to infrastructure, I don't particularly mind the government contracting out maintenance. What I mind is the infrastructure not being owned publicly.

Hmm I have not personally seen that. Can you give me an example? The only thing I can think of is privately owned septic systems but I don't think you meant that.

My sewer system is, thankfully, still owned by the municipality, and I pay my bills to them directly.

They sold off the water system to a French multi-national named Veolia for some reason, and I pay my bills to them now.

Oh ok. I haven't heard of that happening. Sorry about that.
