County wants to de-annex KCSO, jail

It's been 31 years since the Kootenai County Sheriff's Office and jail have been on county property. They reside in the city of Coeur d’Alene. That could change soon despite an objection from the sheriff. Without a formal vote, county commissioners said Monday they’re in favor of de-annexing the properties from within Coeur d’Alene city limits, including the juvenile detention and work release center. The Coeur d'Alene City Council must also vote on the proposal, which would put the county facility solely on county land for the first time since 1985/Ryan Collingwood, Press. More here.

Question: Do you agree/disagree with the de-annexation?
