ust when it seemed the federal prison was on track to open, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder threw a mon- key wrench in things by proposing to transfer $14 mil- lion in the Bureau of Prisons budget to buy a prison in Illinois, his home state as well as that of President JBarack Obama. It is discouraging to see what could be perceived as a blatant- ly political move possibly holding up the prison. This prison has been viewed as a source of jobs and economic stability for Coos County, especially eastern Coos County. U.S. Rep. Charlie Bass has written a letter to Holder taking him to task for the move. While Bass’ letter is also political—it is an election year after all—we commend him for it nevertheless. There was no money slated in the federal budget for the pur- chase of this Illinois prison but the Berlin prison has been in the works for years and is finally being staffed in preparation and is now in jeopardy by this last minute move. This would not only affect the Berlin prison but potentially three other new prisons slated to open. We hope the attorney general will do the right thing and withdraw this proposal. There is a process by which items get added to the federal budget and it should be followed.
