WE NEED BETTER SCHOOLS, NOT PRISON
One of the most influential members of the state Legislature is talking
about the need to build another prison in Wisconsin.
State Sen. Scott Fitzgerald, co-chairman of the budget-writing Joint
Finance Committee, noted last week that the state's prisons were at 132
percent capacity.
"I don't think creating more beds is out of the question right now," says
Fitzgerald, R-Juneau. "Building a prison, I think, that's something that
has to be considered, something that has to be on the table." Oh, that's rich.
