Hamilton County approved a sales tax hike for construction of a new jail.
Once again, courts and jails are the first priority of county government. Why didn't they move the debt service for said jail to the top of the list and vote on money for the HCJFS?
Somehow, the surrounding counties are able to provide for jails and all this other stuff for 1/2% less than this county does.

When government acts in direct defiance of the people.....
