Candidate files for injunction against Thomson prisoner transfer

state Commission on Government Forecasting and Accountability must halt any vote on the Thomson closing and transfer until it has held a public hearing in compliance with the Illinois State Facilities Closure Act. Kelly argued a hearing held in Sterling on Dec. 22 was insufficient because it was not within 25 miles of the prison, as specified in the law.
