[Thomson cost $128 million to build in 2001. It was supposed to replace aging lockups around the state, but union workers at those prisons didn't want to move and state officials didn't have the backbone to make them. So Thomson sat mostly empty for a decade. It was declared surplus property in 2010, clearing the way for a sale.]
Obama is paying his home state of Illinois $165 million for 10-year-old prison that cost $128 million to build. And who knows how many millions will be required to renovate it? This is a scam.
follow the money to the latest Obama slumlord bud who has figured out some way to ride this gravytrain, stinks of Axelrod and Rahm
How can Obama pay for anything that isn’t approved by the House of Representatives???
How many challenges to our Constitution are the Republicans going to stand for?
That was my first thought as well.
On both counts you got me.
Is there a couple of hundred million bucks just lying around in the Executive branch’s petty cash?
