Issues in the News - Incarceration, Property Rights, Economic Development and the Budget

Interview with former Speaker of the House Steve Haugaard

“We need to get a grip on our budget. We need to recognize that we are essentially a a welfare state… We’re worse than we were a few years ago as far as dependency on Federal dollars. And that has to end.” - Steve Haugaard

“We have 146 maximum security inmates in Jamison the new unit down there in the back of the existing penitentiary area - that has capacity for over 500 people. When you have 146, and we have capacity for over 500, I think we have enough maximum security space” - Steve Haugaard
