Great, we can just do the NIMBY thing all over again. All the “concerns” about spending are just distractions from the fact that there isnt a soul in South Dakota wants this near their home. Your work group wont change that. The state is going to have to upset someone.
Should have just done this latest one.
Nothing west river?
Build it in Butte county. Bring those jobs West River.
You want a county with 10k people to provide an employment base for the state penitentiary? They can barely staff it in Sioux Falls.
Put the prison on a reservation
You cant without the tribe’s permission. Plus, the largest reservation by population is Pine Ridge, but there arent enough healthy, working age people to staff the prison there. Are all the idiots coming out of the woodwork to weigh in on this issue?
Is it really called Project prison reset?
Everything’s a reset. Was Noem really so bad that we have to spend the first half of the year apologizing for her?
It will take a lot more than a half of a year apologizing for her.
