It's a no brainer . No new Jail. Do not waste taxpayers money by building a new jail.

This county cannot burden taxpayers with this debt. Please consider shared jail options.

i can't even believe they're considering this jail, it makes zero sense from any angle, and the fact that there hasn't even been a study to examine it just shows that they know it and don't want to be confronted with the facts.

We can't afford a mammoth new jail and with a declining population, we don't need one!

Frankly astounded at the lack of consideration given to any number of alternative methods of modernizing the existing facility given the actual resources available already at hand and the obvious original engineering firm's evaluation. I am a past Director of a Greene County Agency.

without a feasibility study on a shared jail any decision is irresponsible...get the facts first when taking on this amount of debt, please!

I oppose the bond for $51.4 million dollars for a new jail in Greene County. I am in favor of exploring sharing a jail with Columbia County to share the cost of a jail.

$51 million is far too much debt to burden tax payers with. I believe you can build a much smaller facility and don't incarcerate people for petty crimes.

Sharing the jail is the responsible thing to do, no jobs will be lost by sharing a jail, we need to act responsibly when looking toward the future of Greene County.

Share the jail, do not waste tax payer dollars on a separate jail.

Make the sensible choice and share. It's helped the school districts in our county save money and improve services.

We do NOT not need this tax burden -share a jail or scale it way back!

That we don’t need. Fund ATI, Alternatives To Incarceration, overhaul the Sherriff’s office, redeploy the COs, fix the Sheriff’s Office (in situ), fire Michael Spitz - now.

Share the jail with Columbia County and use the money to build a hospital!! "Shared Services" is hallmark of the Governor's future State plans to save money. Unfortunately Greene County shares the wrong services with Columbia County - medical services. We could care less about a jail.
