These numbers are interesting. I want to know where funding for elections is originating. Did Koch fund the new jail advertising or in any other way? Are the articles on NW Citizen, an On-Lie news source, about the new jail being viewed by how many citizens? How many viewers read the Herald? Does the Herald get extra funding from sources that would benefit economically by the billion dollar jail? What happened to the taxes for the jail that voters passed ion a previous election?
Hi Barbara:
I don't know the answers to most of these questions. Deputy Steve Harris has talked about funding issues for the jail in his facebook posts. David Camp has talked about Jail Funding issues on NW Citizen. Tonight and LWV Forum, Whatcom County Council person Satpal Sidhu mentioned that law and justice is 60% of Whatcom County's budget. I don't imagine that percentage is novel to our county. I have a post on GF-S funding for the state that shows the state distributes $800M for Corrections to Washington counties: http://www.bellinghampoliticsandeconomics.com/2015/05/2013-general-fund-state-revenues-and.html
Law and justice expenditures in this county equates to many millions of dollars for they include each city police services, Whatcom County, Jail Services, Whatcom Sheriff, DHS/Border Partol expenses on the border (probably hundreds of millions), courts, social services, lawyers, lawsuits, etc. Joy Gilfilen points tonight at the LWV voters Forum was essentially that law and justice expenditures here and nationwide need overhaul and reform. The efforts at Restorative Justice in Whatcom County (http://whatcomrec.org/) are designed to rebuild our community into a safer place without continuing jail terms for so many. Some authors that write elegantly on the "Prison Industrial Complex" are Ruth Wilson Gilmore, Todd Clear, and Michelle Alexander. I have some links on my side bar to some of their interviews. My research indicates we book about 6500 citizens about 10,000 times (for many different charges) in Whatcom County each year. It is the equivalent of booking 2% or more of our population each year. Personally, I think our law and justice system nationwide has created an apartheid system based on race, poverty that is destroying our nation. Lots of scholars and researchers are talking about this...
