Big mistakes will cost to taxpayers, as a nursing home for sex offenders in St. Peter still sits empty.The building was finished a year ago, a ribbon cutting ceremony last October and yet the state still hadn't inspected the new facility.News 12's Jennifer Hudspeth explains why some legislators are demanding answers.The parking lot is empty...and 10 million taxpayer dollars later, the new building still sits unused.NATS(It's very confusing to me personally)Many lawmakers are baffled...so when they asked those in charge of the project...why, the response didn't sit so well.Morrow says, "I think each and every Minnesotan is disappointed with the way this process on the St. Peter Nursing Home and the Regional Treatment Center has gone."The facility is a year old, but wasn't inspected by the state until this April.That inspection turned up some major problems..."NATS-I don't understand how all of this could be overlooked, it's outrageous."JH says, "36 citations were issued from the Department of Health and the State Fire Marshal...but what makes regulations so strict is the fact that this building is both a nursing home and a corrections facility. Even so...some say there are no excuses."Morrow says, "It's very complex area, I'll grant that to the departments but to me that just means you work harder and earlier to avoid any sort of problems."Problems like hallways that are too narrow, a fire alarm that locks doors to the outside, and even curtains that aren't compliant.Those taking the brunt of the heat today agree, it's more than just a big oops.Mike Tessneer says, "Oops doesn't get us there, we have an obligation as the Representatives and Senator Sheran pointed out to really be responsive to taxpayers."Action has been taken to fix the mistakes even though the cost to taxpayers is still unknown.The nursing home will see 15 occupants come this October, butEven with this step forward... Lawmakers are asking for accountability to make sure something like this never happens again.Morrow says, "What I want to see now is what people will do to correct it, who is responsible, and what is the cost."Legislators are requesting a number of reports from those in charge including specific dates, times, and the dollar amount taxpayers will pay.Jennifer Hudspeth News 12.
