Bristol County Sheriff Thomas Hodgson has an offer for President-elect Donald Trump: let him use Bristol County to build Trump’s border wall with Mexico.
In remarks he made at his inaugural ceremony Wednesday night, Hodgson, a Republican, stated, “I can think of no other project that would have such a positive impact on our inmates and our country than building this wall. Aside from learning and perfecting construction skills, the symbolism of these inmates building a wall to prevent crime in communities around the country, and to preserve jobs and work opportunities for them and other Americans upon release, can be very powerful.” Hodgson said.
Hodgson was elected to his fourth six-year term as sheriff. Massachusetts Billy Pitman, spokesman for Governor Charlie Baker, who administered the oath of office, commented, “The Baker-Polito administration is thankful for the valuable community service inmates in Bristol County have provided through work programs and would prefer they continue to offer those services closer to home.The administration has not been briefed on the sheriff’s proposal.”Read the rest of the story HERE.
