go on ahead and hit the button.

The business is INCORPORATED in MD. That is a matter of record. And they do this for a SPECIFIC reason-so they can HIDE their shareholder list from YOU and ME:

Further, although headquartered in Tennessee, CCA is incorporated in Maryland. Under Maryland state law, MD Corp. & Assn. Code § 2-513 (2013), only shareholders who own “at least 5 percent of the outstanding stock” of a company may inspect and copy its stock ledger – i.e., its list of shareholders. Since CCA has around 117 million shares of outstanding stock, an investor would have to own about 5.85 million shares (currently valued at over $200 million) before they could obtain a copy of the company’s shareholder list.

...Thus, the individual shareholders who own stock in both CCA and GEO remain shrouded in secrecy – much like private prison companies themselves, which have a long history of being non-transparent and lacking public accountability even though almost all of their revenue is obtained from government contracts paid with taxpayer funds.

Still think this is "Nothing to see here, move along?"

I don't think that avoiding issues, even difficult ones, is helpful. This is a fair question.

If you want a circular cheering squad, though, that is your right.

They run prisons for the Federal Government, not for the State of Maryland. FSogol Nov 2015 #2

CCA was incorporated in 1983. Headquarters in Tennessee. No CCA prisons in Maryland. Koinos Nov 2015 #4

I understand that, but the optics remain poor. nt MADem Nov 2015 #5

LOL, the optics are poor? That's quite a stretch. O'Malley railed against the FSogol Nov 2015 #6

There are two facts at play, here: MADem Nov 2015 #7

In other States the immigrants were being held in for-profit prisons, that's FSogol Nov 2015 #8

Are you seriously trying to tell me that state governors ignore federal businesses MADem Nov 2015 #9

A few points: MADem Nov 2015 #11

So you aren't going to apologize for posting baseless attacks against O'Malley in the askew Nov 2015 #13

You think this was a polite comment? FSogol Nov 2015 #17

Which is why I asked--has he brought up this issue before? Or is he coming to Jesus? MADem Nov 2015 #18

You keep whining and making claims, but have not shown how it connects to O'malley. FSogol Nov 2015 #19

I have provided you a link that shows you where the largest offender is incorporated. MADem Nov 2015 #20

What does Marco Rubio have to do with O'Malley? FSogol Nov 2015 #21

If O'Malley gets the nomination (a long shot, but who knows?), Rubio could well be his opponent. MADem Nov 2015 #22

Laughably naive. FSogol Nov 2015 #23

So, you try and prove your point by posting an article by a Hogan promoter? FSogol Nov 2015 #32

Some prison systems hire their own, state-employed, doctors and nurses. MADem Nov 2015 #33

Go make your unfounded allegations in some other group. n/t FSogol Nov 2015 #36
