Can you clarify what the bloat is? What type of spending is wasteful?

Bad vendor contracts, nepotism in the administration and recurring/expensive/avoidable band-aid maintenance work regarding our infrastructure is nothing but a money pit.

Band aids are unavoidable in a system that has had no maintenance for 50 years or more. Very old buildings with inadequate wiring, bad roofs, non-working bathrooms and no air conditioning make it so that the BOE has to gerryrig things to cope.
