Issue: Commissioner questions $50M jail bill: Currie says KMB’s proposal needs to be more conservative/Marc Stewart, Coeur d’Alene Press
Commissioner Rick Currie: “If the same thing comes befofre us, there will be one commissioner not supporting the expansion. I know the need is there, but we asked for too much last time.”
Commissioner Katie Brodie: “The finger pointing and saying whose fault it is is over. Weneed to look forward and decide what we can do differently and to find a package that meets the need and is taxpayer friendly.”
Question: I should have picked this up yesterday. But better late than never. Which commissioner represents your thinking about the jail expansion?
