Sheriff: Don't sign those petitions

Guest blogger Cliff Peale reports:

Sheriff Si Leis was at the Over-the-Rhine Chamber of Commerce annual meeting today at Music Hall. His message was loud and clear: don't sign those petitions calling for a vote on the new jail sales tax increase.

Leis told the crowd that there was a "jail crisis."

"If someone asks you to sign this petition, please don't sign it," he said. "Ask your friends not to sign it."
