There certainly would be minimum bed occupancy, like there is now in the contract to run one of our jails. More folks in jail should not be our goal. Plus, they would be able to bring prisoners in from other parts of the country. Why should we welcome anything like that?<br />But, you hit a nail on the head, this administration has proven over and over again that it cannot be trusted. If exactly the right questions aren't asked in exactly the right way, we don't find out important details until after the contract is signed.<br />Had Enough Indy?https://www.blogger.com/profile/09673791504434523246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1826828000189814347.post-27871568954380636772014-08-13T22:40:39.140-04:002014-08-13T22:40:39.140-04:00Although I believe a new jail and courthouse is lo...Although I believe a new jail and courthouse is long overdue, the recent stories have confirmed my suspicions that the Ballard administration is woefully incompetent to undertake such a task. Judging by the past debacles, including the Citizens transfer and the parking meter deal, why should anyone trust the administration to favor the public interest over the political elites? We haven't even built this complex. I don't want to imagine the inevitable cost overruns that will occur during construction and management of the system.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1826828000189814347.post-73378004695806847832014-08-13T14:40:12.692-04:002014-08-13T14:40:12.692-04:00The project costs have always seemed way too low t...The project costs have always seemed way too low to me. Lucas Oil cost over $700 million several years ago. This isn't a stadium, but it is an expansive project that requires all the bells and whistles required for the security needs of a new court system, jail, juvenile center and other criminal justice agencies. Eskenazi Hospital cost over $700 million. It seems to me that $700 million has always been closer to the final project cost than the much lower figures they started out at, which were as low as $300 million at one point and later got bumped up to close to $500 million.Gary R.
