Over nine years ago, we were already warning county leaders about the growing crisis in our County Jail. Even then, the problem had been ignored for far too long.
For more than a decade, Republican-controlled county government had every opportunity — and every responsibility — to fix it. They could have acted responsibly, planned ahead, and protected taxpayers.
Instead, they delayed.
They blamed others.
And now, their failure is being paid for — by you, through a 20% tax increase.
They had options. They had time. But instead of doing the hard work, they passed the buck — and passed the bill to you.
Enough is enough.
It’s time for accountability. It’s time for new leadership that puts people ahead of politics and planning ahead instead of pointing fingers.
Add your name to stand with us and demand accountability for the 20% tax hike. Let county officials know: we’re watching — and we won’t forget.
