Guess this could be looked at as being grateful that here in Garco we have commissioners that make sure the taxpayers aren't dipped extra to cover the costs of the jail.
But that brings the question up of why not? Maybe that's the answer to the whole smell mess everytime Garco Sheriff brings a budget to the table.

Huge.
I understand your point, jbend.
However, I'm grateful Pitkin County as my residence and Garfield County where I have rental investments support both Sheriff's budgets and jails without increased sales taxes.
