$100 million to build a new jail?? That’s so much tax payer money. And that’s just the capital project, a building that big will cost so much to maintain and staff! Where are those numbers in these conversations?
I understand that our jail is in bad condition but ... repair it? It’s only 50 years old. Or build a $50M new jail and allocate $50M to programming that builds community and keeps people out of jail.
Seems like some Big Truck energy from the Sheriff and his loyal cheering section.
