Yesterday, I told you that Northampton County Council member John Cusick questioned what was going on at the vacant work release facility in West Easton. Corrections Director James Kosura said there was no "immediate time" to re-open it.
County Exec Lamont McClure had a more detailed answer at last night's Council meeting. He said the building is currently used for training by deputy sheriffs and corrections officers. "But I'm here to announce tonight that West Easton will be open next week."
McClure acknowledged that the facility was closed during COVID. The national public health emergency ended on May 11. McClure said that he was waiting for a new scanner to check inmates when they return from their jobs.
In other business, McClure announced that the County has received a $264,000 federal grant for solar panels at the Archives building. He expects this will produce enough energy that ot will both power the building and provide energy the county can cell. The county also has solar panels at the forensic center, which provides most of the energy consumed there.
OMG. Our incompetent, no-show, math-challenged, financially retarded executive has a few drops of shame. He should apologize for all the money that was wasted while he ignored his duties. He rarely showed as a council member. He's clearly not doing the job now. Resign. Have some self respect and respect for your employers. In my business. I fire shiftless assholes like this every day.
ReplyDeleteLol. Glad that our county executive is running our jail. Not the director, or warden. Guessing that's why we have an administration that is appointed by Lamont like our deputy wardens and our one captain. Be nice to actually have leadership in the jail. By the way don't worry about the major security issue he just created to save his little girl on council.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the corrections officers will be happy to hear. They love getting mandated, especially in the summer. Maybe next council meeting they can ask Mcstupid how he plans on hiring more COs for the building.
