From Globe-Miami Times News 'n' Views by Linda Gross:
Jim Moss, who heads up Globe Citizens Opposed to a Private Prison, gave a ten minute presentation on Thursday to the Southern Gila County Economic Development Board who were instrumental in bringing the project to Globe. Although the State has temporarily pulled the RFP (Request for Proposal) on building more prisons by partnering with the private prison industry, the move is simply to allow them to re-write the RFP to include greater security standards. It is expected the project will be back on the table – soon.
Jim Moss, with Citizens Opposed to a Private Prison, addressed the EDC at this month's Board meeting.
The talk was meant to be informational and provide the EDC Board with a greater understanding of the the group's efforts which have included a 3 month petition drive which has gathered over 2000 signatures and a more targeted post card mailing which reaches registered voters and allows them to write a brief comment on why they oppose this issue.
