We the undersigned call on Gov. Pat Quinn of Illinois to halt the closure of Logan Correctional Center and the related cutbacks in vital programs that help to safe guard and sustain children and families, protect our natural environment, ensure public safety, assist those with disabilities, and prevent other public health hazards.

I was looking at the facility again today and it just keeps hitting me how much we are going to lose if this actually goes through. I have been buried in paperwork trying to get some kind of answer from the governor office but it is mostly just crickets on that end which is honestly so frustrating.

I was just staring at the screen processing the sheer volume of people joining this fight and I really think someone in the capital has to notice this momentum eventually. People are really waking up to how much we lose if we let these doors close and honestly it is so overwhelming to see this kind of energy for the folks in Lincoln.

This town is gonna suffer if this happens. Quinn needs to think about the families here not just the budget cuts.
This is ridiculous. The governors not doing enough to keep our community running.
Too many jobs are being lost already. Stop closing facilities in central illinois!!!!
leave the center alone. it helps so many people around here
bad idea for the whole county. we need these jobs and the programs stay open
