Damn. Looking over this thread to post something about the level of corruption in our state government (and most of the prisons haven't been privatized yet!) I found this from almost a year and I missed this comment and feel a need to have the final say.

The point I was making was that while I worked at a State Agency, I thought our goal was to prevent nurses with drug, alcohol or psychological problems from being licensed. If our job was to save the State money we wouldn't have given a damn and just licensed them.
Of course, lilMike probably realized that one point proved my argument about privatizing prisons.
Anyhow...
So this is what our Republican-led State Legislature has become?
Two gangs of thugs breaking arms and threatening others just to pass a prison privatization bill? Ya know...if this had been a Democratic Legislature folks would have been raising hell. If it had been the Obama administration...well, you know.

damn...
if those tactics don't prove someone is going to be raking in the $$$$ then what does it prove? what, that they'll save money? ahhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhha
sure.. thug-life is all about the savings..
