Dear Editor,
Thanks for doing a great job with the YCN paper!
Regarding the Yellowstone County Commissioners proposal for 175 million dollars for more jail expansion, why don’t we do something constructive about jail overcrowding?
This proposal just perpetuates the existing problem! As John Ostlund once said, “Some of these felons wait a year to see a judge and go thru the legal system.” How about spending money to hire more judges and staff to streamline the legal process? Let’s spend our money more wisely! I will not be supporting the Commissioners’ request.
Sincerely
