Perhaps it is in the best interest of the kids, which should take precedent over the best interests of the county. Commissioners in my county were set to approve a medical waste incinerator; they typically aren?t picky when it comes to revenue. Which makes this even more curious.

Well, I can make a couple of guesses. We were discussing earlier the unusually high # of HLA staffers w/ corrections training. But there's another pervasive thread there. Lots of military, especially them damned Marines. And NGCSU, right there in Dahlonega, is known as "The Military College of Georgia." So it stands to reason that the locals would give HLA good deal of chauvinistic favor by default. After all, it looks like military school, it's faculty, ownership and supporters like to compare it to the military and, as noted above, they do employ military vets who are the eyes and ears on the ground.
So it's been 10 years. How many of those real military guys have come away from it w/ less than glowing reviews? Check posts by Jarhead6's posts and ask yourself just what kind of thuggery does it take to make a damned Marine that skitterish.
I would expect it of military culture to start out circling the waggons in defence of ppl who present themselves as part of the military community as HLA does. And I'd expect them to hold to that position staunchly for a good long while, easily dismissing criticizms as just a bunch of belly-aching from long haired hippie liberals who hate all things military on general principle. But I would also expect them to come around, eventually, and cut their fuckin' nuts off when they begin to realize how they've been punked.
Incidentally, this is one of the most vital differences between the troubled parent industry and military training. Our military--source of so much modern language like SNAFU, FUBAR and Catch 22--does have an astounding propensity to occasionaly unfuck itself.
Shit, I think this whole industry might self destruct by the hand of their duped clients. I hear tell WWASPS programs have been "helping" the rebellious sons and daughters of Saudis lately, now the Rudy Bentz line may be takin' their comeuppance from the Marines.
This could be fun to watch. :wave:

Or you can look over what's left of Jarhead6's posts and ask yourself just what kind of thuggery does it take to make a damned Marine that skitterish.

Do your part to bring to light pertinent facts about the way this company does business.

Apparently there have been many concerns raised by local citizens about the care and treatment of children at the existing facility which led to suspension of negotiations for a new facility. The possibility exists to kill the project altogether if everyone does their part.
Good luck!

Keep those calls coming. Tell Mr. Abraham how you were treated there and what kind of education you got. He seems very interesed to hear the details.

If you've spoken to Mr. Abraham, what did he have to say?
