Taxpayers in Madera County demand that local, city, county and state policy makers stop any proposed plans to build, construct/expand any facility to incarcerate people in Madera County, California. California can’t afford AB900 CALIFORNIAS LARGEST PRISON AND JAIL EXPANSION PLAN! Madera can't afford to invest in Californias largest jails and prisons expansion project ever. Madera faces huge budget cuts, forced schools closures, reduced or eliminated city, county and educational services, and lay-offs in all of these areas. Madera’s prison/jail project places unnecessary burden on our local economy, infrastructure and will negatively impact an already stressed environmental health factors in Madera. Ignoring our water shortage, unhealthy land use, bad air quality and stressed sewage makes our county leaders look real bad. They deny our communities’ right to have access to a quality of life to raise healthy families. We, the undersigned, adamantly oppose this project and urge the Madera leaders and stakeholders to stop this project immediately.
The silence from the county leaders is getting louder every day while they pretend the budget gaps are just a natural disaster instead of a policy choice. I have been spending so much time digging through old meeting minutes and honestly the lack of transparency about the environmental impact reports is just staggering.

Enough with the prisons already. Our schools are crumbling and they want to spend money on cages? Fix the roads and help the kids instead.

RIDICULOUS. We cant even keep our schools open but lets build another jail. Priorities in this county are all wrong.

Think about the water we dont have enough as it is. Building this will only make things worse for regular families living here.

Madera needs jobs that dont ruin our air and water. This is a huge mistake for our future.
