MIT Press Issues and Discussion  Agency turnover  Data sharing complexity  Transaction costs*  Power sharing* “It’s harder to set your priorities and then lay them out on the table and have other agencies come in and say, “Well, let’s change that for you.”…It changes your work plan; it changes your focus; it changes what people do on the ground. There is a lot that goes into giving up your autonomy.” “I don’t have enough time, so I was interested in the topic professionally and personally, but I need to link it to the work I do for the City. Things need to be linked to accomplishments—it has to be done within a year. That way I can justify my time for the City”
