No Update On Klickitat County Jail At Commission Meeting

There was no update on the County’s look at the Klickitat County Jail at Tuesday’s County Commission meeting, with Commission Chair Lori Zoller saying staff continues working on a long list of items on the potential options available should a decision be made to close the jail, with more being added on a daily basis.  Zoller also said there won’t be movement on the issue for the next two weeks with Commissioner Dan Christopher planning to be absent from their meetings.  She also reiterated her belief that between pending litigation and budget concerns that have been discussed for years, the County has to address the jail now.  Zoller also addressed her cancellation of a planned Tuesday evening County Commission Town Hall session, saying the jail issue has taken over their regular meetings which went beyond civil discourse, and along with a radio announcement describing it as “a Sheriff’s Town Hall” that was pulled, she decided to use her position as Commission Chair to cancel it.
