Isaac on the campaign trail II

My next campaign pledge is that the bureaux under my control will hire no consultants to assist them, except as necessary to comply with federal or state law, unless the bureau that wishes to hire the consultant first identifies (a) the expertise the consultant provides, (b) the City employees who already have that expertise, and (c) why those City employees cannot provide the service.  I will grant a blanket exemption for the hiring of outside actuaries to evaluate the City's liabilities under its pension and disability plans.
