Gov. Rick Snyder does not appear to like a state Senate plan to close two prisons and lease a private prison.
A Senate subcommittee approved the plan last week as a way to save $15 million.
Snyder asks,“If you’re closing prisons, why lease another?”
“I view this as part of the normal budget process…..that wasn’t part of our budget recommendation,” Snyder told reporters.
Senators are proposing closing prisons to save money as Michigan’s prison population declines.
