Key economic development official behind the deal to turn over that prison and some of the town of Hardin itself (its policing functions) over to the endlessly sketchy American Police Force now says they need to hear from APF where they’re getting their money or the deal’s off.
Also, American Police Force is now American Private Police Force. Not what I’d call a miracle of rebranding. But there ya go.
And, because the story just wouldn’t be complete without it, now there are questions about whether the deal may have been sweetened for one of the local economic development officials by APF offering a job to his wife.
