Editorial Column Favors Corrections Education Cuts

The Springfield News Leader runs an editorial column by the director of Missouri Department of Corrections entitled Prisoners can get an education. The conclusion:

Gov. Blunt has made a responsible directive that state government must operate within the taxpayers' means. We fully support the governor in this commitment. Our plan to prioritize the department's academic resources will maintain our commitment to every one of the 30,000 inmates who will eventually be released while saving state taxpayers $1,440,556.

Matt Blunt has convinced this bureacrat to not seek more budget for his fiefdom. That ranks short of miracle.
