New Jail on Hold as Legal Uncertainty Clouds Cochise Tax Vote

View descriptionShare

A judge has approved a settlement in Cochise County’s controversial Jail District election case, but his decision has left legal experts and local officials with more questions than answers. In today’s episode, we break down what the ruling means for the half-percent sales tax meant to fund a new jail, why Secretary of State Adrian Fontes tried to intervene, and how the suspension of tax collection could cost the county over $700,000 a month. With a re-vote now set for November, the legal and financial uncertainty isn’t going away anytime soon.
