Lincoln
and Logan Correctional Center union employees and their friends
were out Thursday picketing to educate the community about
solutions they believe will help the state of Illinois.
It is not by cutting
employees but by hiring more. Their idea is to hire entry-level
office help instead of pulling higher-paid correctional officers
into offices and then paying overtime to the remaining officers
in the yard, which also creates safety issues.
Their goal is to
show there are ways to save money without closing prisons. The AFSCME
union is concerned that closing of prisons will lead to public endangerment.

took a
practice
jump
from
more
than 13

high
over New

He's
aiming
for
nearly
23 miles
in the

The

is held
by Joe Kittinger,
who
jumped
from

is relatively unaffected in quantity and quality. When a
breastfeeding woman is malnourished, it is the mother
who suffers, not the infant.
