Hundreds of thousands of dollars

toward the cost of construction have already been lost. The amount grows

every day. I have heard, but not verified, that as much as $2 million

will be lost from the time the impact fee was introduced to the end of

this year. The citizens of this county should be outraged.

The elected officials should

resolve this issue immediately and stop draining the coffers of the citizens

they serve. If the cities are some how gaining an advantage over the county

city residents pay for the jail just like county residents. They are county

residents. If the cities have to agree to items they don't like, so what?

Right now everyone is paying more than we should.

I urge everyone to contact

the county commissioners and city council members and urge them to enact

the impact fee immediately.
