In my TOWN HALL MEETING, the citizens attending will be allowed to verbally ask questions and make comments without their questions or comments being screened by a moderator.
Option (1) Yes or No, Contract our inmate housing with NORCOR in The Dalles, Oregon and close down the Klickitat County Sheriff’s Office Jail.
Option (2) Yes or No, The Klickitat County Commissioners take over the Klickitat County Jail and appoint a Director to run the jail and report to the Board of County Commissioners.
Option (3) Yes or No, Leave the Klickitat Jail under Sheriff Bob Songer and make whatever improvements that need to be made in the operations of the jail.
Option (4) Yes or No, Add three above Options to the November Ballot and let the people vote on which Option they want.
Closing the Klickitat County Jail is a major issue and the citizens we serve should have the opportunity to vote on one of the three Options.
My BOSS is YOU the citizens of Klickitat County, so I hope to see you at the TOWN HALL MEETING to hear your questions and comments on the above subject matter.
