Council supports jail levy
A majority of Cincinnati council members will appear with Hamilton County Sheriff Simon Leis at a 10:30 a.m. press conference Monday on the steps of City Hall to support of Issue 12, the Jail and Public Safety Levy.
Vice Mayor Jim Tarbell, along with Cecil Thomas, Leslie Ghiz, Chris Bortz, Laketa Cole, David Crowley and Jeff Berding will attend to throw their support behind the jail tax.
Issue 12 is a proposed 10-year, quarter-cent sales tax increase that would pay for a new jail and roll back property taxes for three years.
Officials say a campus-style, 1,800-bed prison will be built somewhere in the county, though it's not clear where yet. The county operates four jails with a capacity of about 2,270 inmates. Three of those facilities would continue to be used along with the new jail, uping the total number of jail beds to 3,057.

Post a Comment*That little bomb that Heimlich dropped during the debates - that we will house federal criminals - cost them my vote. Let the feds subsudize the construction if they want to house their offenders.
And, if you don't want to write about Portune's "campus-style" rehab and detention paln - don't cherry pick his works.
Hebron 27, this seems to have escaped your notice on mulptiple occasions, but THE ENQUIRER ENDORSED DEMOCRAT DAVID PEPPER.
THEY DID NOT ENDORSE PHIL HEIMLICH.
Either you are willfully overlooking this in order to keep your paranoid fantasies about the Enquirer endorsing Republicans or you are just as ignorant as another Democrat endorsed by the Enquirer, Jim O'Reilly.
