Previous Week's Speaker: Scott Conklin (& the prison update)

Our county commissioner Scott Conklin was our speaker. He was here to tell us about the new prison. So far it is a $20,000,000 dollar project.

The significant cost is for operation, especially man power, although it is a no frills operation. Counseling will be available for inmates with alcohol, drugs and other psychological problems. The prison is designed for minimal movement of prisoners. The bufdget should not increase due to modern construction.

This week’s note taker: Richard Jones
