LADIES AND GENTLEMEN OF THE TWIN TIERS...IN A RECENT COMMENTARY I RAISED THE QUESTION AS TO WHETHER THE TIME HAS COME TO CLOSE THE ELMIRA AND SOUTHPORT CORRECTIONAL FACILITIES BECAUSE OF THE SCUMBAGS THAT THE PRISONS HAVE ATTRACTED TO OUR AREA.
WELL, THE WIFE OF A SOUTHPORT CORRECTIONS OFFICER DISAGREED WITH MY REMARKS AND ARGUED THAT CLOSING THE TWO PRISONS WOULD RESULT IN GOOD PEOPLE MOVING OUT WITH THE SCUMBAGS REMAINING. SHE ARGUED THAT THE BEST WAY TO GET RID OF SCUMBAGS IS TO...AND I QUOTE..."STOP FEEDING THEM. IF YOU CLOSE UP THE FOOD BANK, SAMARITAN CENTER, AND OTHER 'GIMME' LOCATIONS, GUESS WHAT...THE FREELOADERS WILL GO SOMEWHERE ELSE TO GET THEIR FREEBIES. THIS IS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE!" UNQUOTE.
WELL, I WANT TO THANK THIS VIEWER FOR WRITING IN. SO I ASK YOU THE VIEWERS…DO YOU AGREE WITH HER? WOULD CLOSING DOWN THE FOOD BANK AND SAMARITAN CENTER DO MORE FOR THIS AREA THAN CLOSING THE PRISONS?
WITH COMMENTARY...I'M DR. STEPHEN COLEMAN...WITH MY OPINION...A VIEWER'S OPINION...AND...MOST IMPORTANTLY...WHAT'S YOUR OPINION?
