@ChrisJWilson True. Certain inefficiencies are built into government at all levels, on purpose. (ie. 30 or more days for public comment on new rules, gov't business being conducted in open, public meetings, asking for bids from contractors, etc) These delays can be frustrating to someone coming from the business sector because in gov't everything takes so long to do, but they serve a purpose and help weed out backroom deals. It also helps weed out public fads, which come and go, and sometimes don't look so smart after a year or two.
