The Board of Supervisors yesterday voted 3-1 to submit Madison as the location best suited for a prison to be built. Make no mistake, this is not a re-entry facility but is an attempt by the Department of Corrections to "spread out" the prison population in the state according to Federal mandates.
The bate, $30,000,000.00. The fish who took the bate, the Board of Supervisors.
Who's really to blame? Of course, AB900 which provided the bate is highly questionable.
The real blame for this decision are the greedy supervisors who voted for this location. If you want to take out your anger, point it at Matt Rexroad, Helen Thomson and Mike McGowan. Duane Chamberlain voted against it and Mariko Yamada abstained, no doubt reflecting her political ambitions.
This was not unexpected. In the Daily Democrat article where the other sights were eliminated, they gave us a clue of what was about to happen, when they said the other sights were turned down because of other issues and the the public comment had nothing to do with it. Who do they think they are kidding? Madison was the place where they felt they would get the least resistance. Madison had the same reasons for not hosting a prison as did the other locations eliminated.
I hope that the residents of the Madison area follow through on a lawsuit and I hope they win.
If these Supervisors are not listening to the electorate, they should be thrown out of office in the next election by whatever means are available.

They thought that Madison would be all alone by the time they got here. Well guess what??
Dunnigan, Zamora, Esparto, Capay, West Plainfield, Winters, Woodland and Davis are all right beside us.
Are oganization called Save Rural Yolo County is growing everyday. Rural Yolo County is not going to sit back and take this anymore. We will be at every CSA meeting(Corrections Standard Authority). This way we will be able to make sure that no more lies get told!!!
Madison may be 10 feet under if Supervisor Matt Rexroad actually does as he says and "Bull dozes Madison". How unbecoming of a person and representitive of Yolo County. Hope not, we like ya.
