Bad In-plant Gets Public Thrashing

The in-plant for the City of Richmond, Va., has gotten a lot of media attention this week—and not the favorable kind.

Both the Richmond Times-Dispatch and the city’s CBS station reported that the in-plant’s 12 or so employees have been spending all their time surfing the Web instead of printing. The reason? Most jobs are being outsourced because it would cost too much to print them in-house.
