YOU
HAVE NO CHOICE That's
what a committee designed to push tens of millions of
dollars in new taxes on Oklahoma County residents want
you to believe. They
insist you have no choice. You must pay for the
improvements to the jail or ELSE. The
"or else" is apparently having the federal
government force us (somehow) to do it. One
of the biggest problems is, according to the
committee, understaffing. They need more
staff, but what kind of staff can they afford to
hire? They don't pay the staff they have now
much, so what are they going to do, hire more
underpaid staff? Like it or not,
jobs with authority but no pay, tend to attract some
pretty undesirable people ho do it for the power, not
for the profession. While
I'm sure there are some professionals in those jobs,
based on lawsuits and problems they've had with staff
behavior, I'm pretty sure they tend to get
their share of problem employees. Employees that
end up costing taxpayers millions in lawsuits.
The
report’s conclusion quoted Winston Churchill:
"Society can be measured by the way its prisoners
are treated.”
"If
that is true,
Oklahoma
County
is failing,” the report said.
Please.
Do not try and make me feel like I have an obligation
to the scum bags who end up in Oklahoma County
jail.
