Humpday Hall of Shame: Arizona's John Kavanagh
August 3, 2011 by Bob Libal
Welcome to The Humpday Hall of Shame - every Wednesday we'll be high-lighting the private prison industry's influence on public policy through campaign contributions, lobbying, and the revolving door of public and private corrections.
Our inaugural Hall of Shame inductee is Arizona State Representative John Kavanagh. Kavanagh is the Chair of the powerful Arizona House Appropriations Committee and outgoing Chair of the Joint Legislative Budget Committee, which earlier this year approved an RFP for 5,000 new private prison beds in Arizona. Kavanagh also appeared on Arizona Public Television recently debating in favor of privatization.
