IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON THE PROPOSED JAIL EXPANSION PROJECT IN LOCAL NEWSPAPER

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON THE PROPOSED JAIL EXPANSION PROJECT.

Dearborn County Register has schematics for the old jail plan and the most recent proposal online at http://www.thedcregister.com/
You can also purchase a paper Wednesday or later if you are not a subscriber. The online story is viewable by non-subscribers if they fill out a VERY short questionnare/survey.

The lead story also has links to these plan sets and to two editorial pieces. One is a well balanced synopsis of the choices that will be up for discussion at the Nov 26th SPECIAL COMMISSIONER'S meeting at 6 PM written by Denise Freitag-Burdette.  The other is by Commissioner Jeff Hughes praising outgoing Commissioner Tom Orschell's voting decision from their last meeting.

Please read them before Monday- Nov 26th. This meeting is an important turning point in the project. Commissioners are being asked to decide on the original price tag of $9.3 million or some alternates that will raise the cost previously agreed upon.

3:11: look at financial contributions from the election, also on this blog. i hope im wrong, but im afraid that tells you all you need to know about what the new commissioners are going to do with this

5:26: i have a hard time believing voters want backroom deals and votes despite obvious conflicts of interest on any kind of project, let alone one as controversial as the jail. if the voters wanted that, then i guess theyre getting what they want
