I'm not surprised the Indianapolis Star is doing no investigative reporting on it, but I'm particularly disappointed in the IBJ, which you used to be able to count on to look into important matters the Star wouldn't touch.

That proven liars like Greg Ballard tell us a new expensive building far from the current direct and ancillary "justice" system services will end up costing us less reminds me of the way the Liar in Chief outright lied about Obamacare over and over again.<br /><br />Democrat and Republican professional politicians know the public memory is exceedingly short and therefore it matters not how much one lies to support a center being passed against statutes and most likely with bribery and payola of one sort or another.<br /><br />This thing will go through. Too many Democrats and Republicans have their fingers in it for the money... as they did with the now war-torn-looking ROC.<br /><br />But the people will forget and that will allow crooks like the current crop of Democrats and Republicans to begin another crony plan for themselves and their political pals.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-17890326485168329222015-02-01T13:31:11.819-05:002015-02-01T13:31:11.819-05:00The article you cite suggests the City needs to do...The article you cite suggests the City needs to do its homework. Then persuade the voters to pass this turd by referendum. I'd like to hear legitimate answers to the numerous tough questions folks are asking. <br /><br />Why does Layton think the buildings are inadequate? Both jail buildings have many unoccupied floors. A significant revenue source helping justify the maximum annual payment is the assumption that many beds in the new building will be leased to outside entities like the feds, meaning we will be housing their inmates in exchange for cash. Sounds like a good deal. But if we've got room to easily add jail cells and inmates now, wouldn't we already be taking advantage of this opportunity? Does the City even have a commitment from the feds or others to do this? I think we know the answer folks, or we would have seen the supporting evidence by now. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-37181320985915908722015-02-01T13:16:15.037-05:002015-02-01T13:16:15.037-05:00Jail accreditation by the ACA and other organizati...Jail accreditation by the ACA and other organizations is such a joke.
