Franklin County election will have voters decide whether they support a criminal justice tax in the next general election. County board has asked voters to support a 0.3 percent tax increase in order to pay for new jail, located in Pasco.
Sheriff, Richard Lathin, told reporters that the current jail is over capacity and additionally needs a new roof installed. In the past, leaky roof caused inmates to be evacuated and poses and represents a "pressing need."
In reality, this is nothing new. Tax dollars going for jails? This never happened before.
