Yakima bought too much jail a while back.
They are living to regret it now.
Read this editorial from the Yakima Herald.
Here's an excerpt...
The parallels between Yakima's past decision (and profound buyer's remorse) and Whatcom's pending decision are difficult to overstate.
There is a meeting on the proposed jail tonight at 6 p.m. at the County Courthouse.
Latte Republic urges you to attend if you can.
They are living to regret it now.
Read this editorial from the Yakima Herald.
Here's an excerpt...
Assuming the county can unload the structures and get out of the jail-rental business, the county can begin life free from the confines of past mistakes. But it's difficult to judge how strong the market is for a couple of used jail buildings; commissioners have said they won't resort to a fire sale. Let's hope they could at least avoid selling the buildings at a loss.
It's hardly a clean escape, but it may be the key that opens the door out of this jail fiasco.
