Sure seems like a gross oversight that there is no resource for the gov being permitted to appoint Special Associate Justices in her own lawsuit.
How would this ever result in an appointment that shouldn't likewise recuse themselves?

100%. It’s not a coincidence the Gov was duck hunting with CoreCivic’s CEO last week.

But by all means, let’s do the exact same thing and expect different results.
This isn’t our only choice. We can do better than this madness.

TDCJ’s statewide vacancy rate is only 28%. @ADCPIO’s was 37% at last check.
It will not improve by adding 800 positions in a location that does not have the workforce to fill them easily.

Just got my hands on the Sunset Advisory Commission’s most recent Staff Report on Texas’ correctional system.
Its finding support the critical need to site facilities in non-rural settings.
We can learn from our neighbors or we can repeat their mistakes.

For more clarity. Red rectangle is La Palma. Blue rectangle is Utah State. Contour map is Franklin Co. site.
Point is—why is the state plotting two entire facilities on the site?
One points toward privatization (CoreCivic/LaPalma) the other points toward a massively blown budget ($1b+/Utah).

A note about this image. There are 2 full prisons overlaid on the Franklin Co. site. To the left, @CoreCivic’s La Palma facility in Eloy, AZ. To the right, Utah State Correctional Facility, which went 100% over budget, costing over $1b to build.

Initial project report from @DLRGroup (09/2023) shows new prison having 25.5% less gross square footage, but housing 64% more beds than Cummins.
@OppArkansas this kind of irresponsibility is what the BOC is guarding against by not blindly adding more beds.

@ArkansasTSS, @ChaferNStanley, and others in @SarahHuckabee’s office met with @VanirCM to discuss the prison in advance of the RFQ going out.
Not a great look given that Profiri is pals with the CA consultant that reps @VanirCM and setup the meetings.

Since Sen. Hester insists this is not an emergency, I wanted to show the hourly fees the taxpayers are actively incurring to Vanir.
I think we’d all be happier to pay for a hearing and investigation than sending our money to a CA consultant.

CoreCivic’s La Palma Correctional Center in Eloy, AZ is the model for the proposed facility in Franklin County. Here’s its footprint overlaid in the anticipated location on a contour map of the site.

They can’t hire. They won’t be able to hire in Franklin County. Lindsay knows it. Anne says we can’t “hire south of the river.” This has been doomed from the start.
Is @SarahHuckabee petty enough to setup @ADCPIO to fail?

Really all that matters to DOC is more beds and “bodies [being] in them.” Complete disregard for any impact of their actions. Of course, behind the scenes, this is all directed by HRH SHS and her AZ henchman, Joe Profiri.
