Split Board of Supervisors Advance $124.7 Million Jail to Voters
Johnson County voters can reject this plan by voting “no” on the ballot measure in this Nov. 3 election.
Ballot Language Is Out
Johnson County's official ballot language on the jail proposal will be up for discussion by the Johnson County Board of Supervisors this Wednesday, Aug. 5, at 9 a.m. and up for their vote this Thursday, Aug. 6, at 9 a.m.
We’re voting against spending nearly $100,000,000 for a new jail on Nov. 3. Here’s why.
Johnson County is hurtling towards a nearly $100,000,000 investment in a brand-new, bigger jail. If approved, it will be one of the largest locally funded public investments in Johnson County in memory, yet there is still so much we don’t know – and still many unanswered questions – about the plan.
What we do know is troubling.
Johnson County deserves better.
