December,2006:  That's the magic date, when  Sarah's band buddy, Joe Schmidt took over from a competent administration. Walker missed cleaning the closet. Holdover Rod Taylor wasn't an improvement, nor is Dean Williams. I don't have many good things to say about Frank the Bank, but his DOC Commissioner knew how to run things. Schmidt quickly ran the ship on the rocks, most particularly by building Goose Creek, blowing a quarter billion bucks on the Taj McLockup, twice what they should have spent. It prevented them from hiring, retaining and training competent personnel and making the necessary repairs at other facilities. Caribou Barbie and Captain Zero both muddled it. It wasn't a coincidence that Bill Allen's old intended prison building partners, Jerry Neeser and Mark Pfeffer got a huge piece of the action.
