Commissioners from the counties voted this week to hire New West Strategies, a consulting firm co-founded by Larry Craig, an Idaho Republican who served three terms in the U.S. Senate.

Craig stepped down from the Senate in 2008, a little more than a year after being cited in a sting operation targeting men cruising for sex at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.

The counties hired the firm to help in the early phases of competition for a proposed $300 million medium-security federal prison near the small town of Malta. Officials envision building the lockup near a U.S. Geothermal Inc. plant to take advantage of clean, cheap geothermal energy.

Commissioners said the prison could create an estimated 350 jobs and help diversify a regional economy dominated by agriculture. Even though it could be 18 months before a location is picked and take at least four years to build, commissioners are eager to get started.

1. They gots the WIDE STANCE regarding Republicon FAIL

Craig and his Romper-Room Republicon cronies farted up America's economy, environment, and honor for 8 miserable years. You can bet your last roll of public stall toilet paper, Craig & Cronies will bring their patented Republicon Family Values FAIL to this piece of work.
