That got your
attention? It would me too. But the sad thing is that this is a real offer from
the Utah Prison Relocation Authority Committee. They just voted on September
16th to increase the monetary offer!
And this is YOUR tax
money at work! It affects YOUR
pocketbook! Wouldn’t it be nice to see this 500K spent on something else? Think
about how this money could help the programming at the state prison in Draper
and Gunnison. Think about how this money could help the public school system.
Teachers could, and would, find a good way to spend this money!
Why is it that this
committee, PRADA, is so hell-bent on rushing through all of this? To spend 800 million
(again, YOUR money) to rebuild something that, in reality, is not broken, is ludicrous!
The only thing I can think of is that the ones who are pushing this are
builders themselves with a huge interest in this pot of gold.
Rep. Brad Wilson, R-
Kaysville is challenging the committee’s “slowness”. This is interesting that
he is pushing this to move faster. He is, as he said at the most recent public
meeting, “a home builder”. Is it that he
hopes to add “builder of prisons” to his vitae?
Salt Lake County Mayor Ben McAdams, another member of the committee,
said he has still not decided whether the cost of moving the prison is worth it
to taxpayers. Finally, someone is
thinking about the taxpayers!
Taxpayers….you need to make your voice heard! Do not let this committee
take money out of your pockets to pay for this position!
