No, Tim; the board doesn’t have the bandwidth to do this. The directors are stretched thin as it is. Most of us have day jobs, and keeping things running in NARSOL, all on a volunteer basis, is all we can manage. It’s a good idea, and if someone who cares enough and has the time would organize it and oversee it, that would be great.

I suppose I could email communications@narsol with the idea. I’ll volunteer to moderate it some of the time. You guys have a board of D’s right. Maybe you can keep someone from freezing to death this winter. Fortunately the latest hurricane didn’t report offenders banned from shelters. This chat box could lead to some interesting revelations and interactions.

State’s used those (WI980) law often immediately after passage. It, sec. 980, is rarely used these days. If it is used I don’t hear much about it.
I think it’s far better and far less expensive to house SVPs in their home towns. This would help insure more are not created and permit the family to support the individual directly. America likes its problems out of sight so its out of mind.

Suddenly that n the news again and right after the VP pick is announced. Great timing. Mitchell Hamline has made such conclusions before have they not? Is it a failure? Not for those pocketing their portion of the 100M it’s not. Politicians certainly derive their credibility from the institution of such regimes. The private builders of government buildings and institutions damn sure make good profits, as does the union labour operating at preferred rate wages. Naturally, each facility must be manned and maintained and that means steady jobs. There are winners in the capitalist sense.
And there are the losers, those incarcerated till death do they part. Minnesotans pretend that wasn’t the true underlying intent in the first place. Popular lies are still lies, while unpopular truths remain reality stating that truth is dangerous.
