To The Editor;
With the liberal thinking, it is a good idea to close Athanum View Correction Center to save money.
I believe, however, if you will do the math, you will find the cost of housing these people in other institutions will about be three times the amount we are now paying.
The care they need will not be available to them, either.
Let’s find more sensible ways of spending to cut the cost of doing business, even though they may not be politically correct.
