KINGMAN — A public meeting to hear comments about the privatization of Arizona’s prison system originally scheduled for Monday has been canceled. The meeting to be held in Kingman depended on participation by Mohave County elected officials. The meeting was to discuss efforts to privatize the state prison system, American Friends Service Committee spokeswoman Caroline Isaacs said. Most of the county’s elected officials, including the county supervisors; the city councils of Kingman, Bullhead City and Lake Havasu; Arizona State Reps. Doris Goodale and Nancy McClain; and state Sen. Ron Gould did not respond. The rest of them said they had prior commitments, Isaacs said. One of the speakers at the Kingman meeting was to be Beau Hodai, an independent journalist, who tied privatization of state prisons to the immigration bill SB1070. AFSC will instead hold a press conference Monday afternoon in Phoenix. The group held a public hearing Oct. 27 in Tucson, Isaacs said. Read More. |
