It's time this bunch of government drones faced the music.

In the third paragraph there is a misprint. The amount of money the JIA failed to report was a total of $11,330,368, not $11,330,368 million.

I went to the first and second grades on St. Simons Island, Ga.
We were the second house from the ocean on our street. Jekyll island was visible from our front porch. There was a prison there back then. Maybe they should reopen it.

Looks like we would have some local candidates for the prison. Maybe we could send them to the new one the politicians want in Brunswick.

[ComputerGuy]

We lived in Brunswick for about three weeks.
The smell of Hercules made my parents move to the island.
We traded stench for mosquitos.

Jekyll and hide?

Okay, the first error (the amount of money we’re talking about) was in the article. This one is my misunderstanding. Bryant Arrington is the Editor of Coastal Viewpoint, but the article was a press release not an Editorial.

Grew up at the end of Hamilton street, myself.

Part of the “move the jail!” crowd— here’s a little more from yers trooly:

While “the recovery of the second floor” proceeds apace, there is a little story unrelated, that is ongoing— I’m trying to get a yard sign from these folks:

His take:
“...The Glynn County Commissioners’ plans to expand the maximum security prison currently on Newcastle St. will consume initially another 1-2 blocks min. along our downtown waterfront taking down homes and businesses in its path and create a huge brick monolith at the gateway to the Historic District. While there is an alternative 14-acre county owned site recommended by consultants, our County Commissioners seem cavalier ...”

My own take on it is that it is yet another example of high-handed, arrogant “public servants” ignoring the citizens, to erect a monument aggrandizing themselves- a fortress, for bureaucrats, in one of the most highly visible ( and commercially desirable ) locations in the city.

“No Palace for Prisoners” is the trial working slogan of the group opposing this exercise in arrogance...

Let the recruits at FLETC use them for night stick practice.

Christ on a pony. Don't they teach hyphens anymore?

[Veritas_est]

Are you the literary authority of FR?

[farlander]

“This practice does not follow Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and is highly unorthodox.”

Understatement of the year. How about, ‘fraudulent’, ‘illegal’, ‘go to federal pound you in the @$$ prison’ unorthodox ?

Good thinking!

[Xenalyte]

One of them, yes.

And a grammar cop too, which is more to the point, since this isn’t a literature question.

I read this one years ago. I’m a believer. The monster is alive and well.

[No Truce With Kings]

You know that they are going to put the blame for all of this on Mr Hyde. Just like the last time Dr. Jekyll got in a bind.

[When do we get liberated?]

WOW!!!! Thats alot of money! 11,330,386 Million? Thats $11,330,386,000,000.00
