Cochise County to hold new jail tax election after lawsuit challenges 2023 vote

[RandySF]

Cochise County needs an estimated $100 million to build a new jail, and voters will once again be asked to approve a sales tax to fund it, even though a previous tax approved in 2023 remains in effect and is still under legal challenge.

The County’s Board of Supervisors voted this week to restart the process for a new half cent sales tax election to be scheduled for November 4 of this year.

However, voters already approved the 25 year sales tax in 2023, and a lawsuit alleging that election was invalid has traced a complicated path through the court system.

The Board reached a settlement in the case, headed by plaintiff Daniel LaChance against them and the Jail District, at a special meeting March 21.

1. We don't have County Supervisors here, we have stupid visors and indicted criminals

We have the FOURTH Director of Elecions in less than 2 years because nobody can/will deal with the Stupivisors. We have an UNELECTED County Recorder, for the same reason. AND all off those people are Republicans.
