Cartoon: Getting Crowded

Guilford County jails are getting crowded. With some inmates sleeping on floors, I’m sure it’s not a pleasant experience for them, and it sounds like things may soon get uncomfortable for taxpayers as well:
Some way, somehow, taxpayers in Guilford County must come up with $104.8 million for a new jail.
Whether the money comes from higher property taxes or higher sales taxes is up to the county commissioners.

I wish it could have come from the surplus of funds they would have had if they hadn’t squandered money on pet projects, corporate welfare and trips to tropical islands.

My preference is higher sales tax as the burden is spread with less focus to economic wealth.
