Colores


Correction
A company that plays a critical role in New Jersey’s corrections system, running halfway houses as large as prisons, has had such severe financial difficulties over the last four years that it contemplated filing for bankruptcy in 2010, according to newly disclosed documents.

Senior executives at the company, Community Education Centers, even feared at the time that they might not have enough money to pay workers, the documents show.


Community Education’s senior vice president, William J. Palatucci, is one of Gov. Chris Christie’s closest friends and political advisers, and Mr. Christie has long championed the company. (NYT, 7/16/2012)


The 10th article in the New York Times front page series on a company that NJ Republican Christie "championed." Now where is that article about the intelligence leaks out of the Obama White House........?


Supposedly
Suddenly we're supposed to believe that Hillary Clinton is a great secretary of state. (Bret Stephens, WSJ, 7/16/2012)


Good article by Stephens on an issue that we have thought about as well. What exactly has Hillary done? Having said that, we find ourselves developing a bit of a soft spot for Hill. (Wait! Who wrote that?) No fan of Hillary is RedStateVT, but she would have been far more preferable than Obama. Hillary learned her lesson on healthcare and likely would not have touched that rail. Also, Hillary would have learned from Bill the value of compromise. The Obama approach, of course, has been 'never mind the mid-term elections, let's double-down.'

    I have yet to see how privatizing jails is an improvement on anything. The NJ guys are cutting corners because they underbid the contract and are not keeping track of the inmates. If they were making money, the state would be paying more and who knows if the state would have saved money. The devil is in the details that we do not know. All I know is half way houses need to keep track of their inmates. These are not people I want to run into going to work in the a.m. or coming home after a night out.
