Prison Post Vacant Due to Election
LITTLE ROCK AP John Haley chairman of the state Board of Correction says several persons have turned down the position of Commissioner of Corrections because of fear of losing the job after the November election. He notes Arkansans have not applied and that prospective candidates worry about administration changes and policy shifts. Haley says as many as three prospects a week have been interviewed, none are Arkansans. The $15,000 a year post awaits a well rounded candidate with administrative experience and ability to handle public opinion. He cites higher pay scales and better living facilities elsewhere as barriers and mentions Bill Meeks of South Carolina as a near fit. Haley adds they seek a leader from a growing area.
