He questions the logic behind this program, pointing out that charitable organizations and the private sector were already solving this issue. Michael also touches on the potential corruption and cronyism involved in the program, citing the governor's wife being involved with the nonprofit receiving the contract. He argues that this is a prime example of government overreach and the dangers of the non-governmental organization (NGO) model.
