This one is sort of crazy. It combines the Sheriff's Dept and the School District with the county making decisions for both.
Last I looked, the School District and the County were separate.
Then there are the issues with the jail and other expenditures that IMO have been questionable.
Though I do see an improvement in the Sheriff's Dept in the recent past, I am unclear that all the spots on this animal have changed to much when it comes to spending.
I would have been more comfortable with the School District remaining independent of the county at all levels.
Though I am all for school security, I think there are other ways to accomplish this that won't cost all of us a bunch of money.
I would have felt better if the Sheriff's Dept came to me and said....we need to attract quality individuals and train them well. We need money to do that. I might be inclined to say yes to that one.
