For all the little things you do.
Dustin's mom works at the State [mental] Hospital in Logansport, so she keeps me abreast of all the ways in which the Daniels administration has effected her job as a state employee. First thing he did was get rid of the union. See: http://newstandardnews.net/content/index.cfm/items/1409 for more about this.
Now, in a low-blow move for a number of reasons, he has outsourced the laundry jobs to a neighboring prison in Miami county. The only mention of this I can find on the internet is a short article in the Pharos-Tribune (Cass county paper) and a letter to the editor complaining about "lack of ink" on the issue.

that short article says that part of the savings for the hospital is because of eliminating future equipment replacements. does idoc-miami have state of the art laundry facilities or something? is it that there are less safety restrictions for prisoners?
does susan know any of these 12 people that got "new jobs"? i'm curious what daniels/the hospital considers a comparable job opportunity.
i highly doubt that the facilities are any better at idoc-miami, plus you have to add the cost of transporting the laundry to and from the state hospital about 30 miles each way (i think)...
as far as the new jobs, i'm not sure if they're opting to take them or not. i think she said they were nursing staff jobs or something--
it's all pretty shady and under the radar it seems.
what's next? privatizing the state hospital?
