Although it doesn’t say so in this Newton News article, it is mostly our members they are talking about who have been attending their board meetings asking uncomfortable questions. PS Newton is a crappy little town but it’s right on I-80 and you can get cheap gas there!

Myself, and I am sure many others, would sign an agreement with the judge stating if they were arrested for any other sex offense, they could be sent to prison for life. Hell, I am so confident that I would not commit another offense, I would sign something stating they could execute me if they want because if I was that stupid to throw away a second chance, I deserve to be executed.

If so, that entity really needs to expect at least a minimal volume of new residents to remain profitable each year. Is there an unwritten (or maybe written) agreement between Iowa’s BoC and the entity to provide those residents?
