Cutting contracts can promise quick savings, the harder question is where the cost actually lands

from The Federal Drive with Terry Gerton

I'm joined by LaToya George from the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
