I support the concept of the jail and have voted for every levy, so far.  Not this one.  At some point in my opinion, law enforcement, including a city jail, has to be funded at least in part by regular revenue.  I didn't hear of any serious discussion by the City Council or city manager about looking for ways to supplement the current levy rate of $1.28 with funding from the city's general tax revenue.  With the levy funding, the discussion is always about the taxpayers either keeping the level of jail services or losing them if the levy is not renewed/increased.  Why not some discussion about maybe losing some planning department personal versus jail personnel?  "Short term" levies becoming part of the basic city services is one reason why property taxes are becoming a major burden on many fixed income citizens.
