Comparing jail (and "public safety") plans
The number crunching has begun.
A new comprehensive safety plan was proposed Wednesday by Hamilton County Commissioners Todd Portune and David Pepper, both Democrats.
On Thursday, this side-by-side comparison was released by Portune and Pepper showing how the plan compares to the one proposed last year (which was defeated by voters), the one proposed by Republican Commissioner Pat DeWine, and the one proposed in February by the county administration.
Also Thursday, DeWine's office (via aide Charlie Norman) released this comparison on how much the jail/public safety plans will cost.

Post a Comment*Finally - a real, comprehensive plan to address the death and social destruction of escalating crime.
Personally, I think you do get what you pay for - and WE are paying for this one way or the other through crime victimization, rising insurance rates for our homes and cars, decline in home values, lack of school support, saturation of subsidized housing, ...
If you pay for what you get -- those "gettin' it" doing crime need to start paying!
2007 - the year of "JUST BUILD IT!" because they will come - come to the table, come to the realization, come to reality, come to Cincinnati and it's great suburbs, ...
Actually, it sounds like a good idea. As long as political "experts" Joe Deters and Ron Roberts dont run the campaign it should make the ballot and pass handily.
The plan last year was a joke. Didn't even pay for operations--just built an empty building. It was a political gimmick that was never serious.
Smart voters will ratify this plan - we have to
The only thing comprehensive about this plan is the BS they use to push it. They need to get it on the ballot in August when only 30% of voters will go to the polls. Otherwise it will fail again.
They don't have any numbers for their programs.
More construction funded on taxpayers backs. Maybe if Si Leis would allow an audit of what's really going on inside the current jail, we could find the money without raising taxes.
What do you mean, leis allow an audit? has he refused? has he been prperly audited over the years?
Yeah - That's exactly what we need - another billion dollars in social programs. Hey Portune and Pepper: Stay out of my wallet! Getting robbed on the street is one thing. I don't need to be robbed by my elected officials too.
