Barely quorum, less than 10 minutes of discussion. Shoving it on through . . . even tho almost everyone seems to think that what they are studying won’t answer their questions or result in any better options for the Dane County Jail. Activists don’t need to derail the jail, the politicians seem to be doing it for us, since 2002.
The discussion is very short, with questions from one person, Supervisor Carl Chenowith from Stoughton. Questions about who decided this. The answer is the County Executive Joe Parisi, County Board Chair Sharon Corrigan and the chairs of Personnel and Finance (Patrick Miles), Public Protection and Judiciary (Maureen McCarville) and Public Works and Transportation (Paul Nelson). And questions about if these options are even viable – most people think no. And questions about the operating costs, which this $186,000 study will not answer. So, seems to be a waste of $186,000. So why are they paying Mead and Hunt more money?
