Initial NORCOR Pick Withdraws

The initial choice of the Northern Oregon Regional Corrections board to become the jail’s new administrator has withdrawn.  Last week, NORCOR officials said they had offered the job to Michael Cantrell, an experienced juvenile justice system program director from Nebraska, and made that public.  But Hood River County Commissioner and NORCOR board member Ron Rivers said on the Mid-Columbia Today Show on Monday that Cantrell has informed jail administrator Jim Weed he was withdrawing after asking for more money than the board could offer.  Rivers says Weed is now negotiating with another of the three finalists who were interviewed last week.
