I can tell you that living in the County where the prison is, it makes me a little bit nervous about the visitors these terrorists will be receiving.
Interesting note; the rumor being spread is that it will bring 3,000 jobs to the area...so, we are to believe there will be 30 jobs for each prisoner...sure.
Remember Gov. Thompson’s “Build Illinois Program”? It pretty much consisted of building either a convention center or prison in every county. So now we have a prison, plenty of potential inmates, but none in this particular prison. The solution: sell it to the Feds, and house terrorists there. I’m sure, with not too much work, some home-grown thugs from Chicago could be rounded up and put in the prison, but noooooo...let’s create a really serious terrorist threat instead. Makes perfect sense to IL Democrats!!
I heard the same number on news reports today—3,000 jobs created to house about 100 prisoners, and a billion dollars pumped into the local economy....Where do they get these numbers??!
