I recently discussed the courthouse condition with one county commissioner. I told him I would vote for a temporary sales tax increase to renovate the courthouse, just like we did to build the new jail. If we could raise millions to build a new jail, which most of us won't ever see the inside of, I hope most people would want to keep our vital records from burning up in a fire like the last courthouse. But again remember the commissioners wanted to keep the jail tax on after more than enough money was raised to pay off the jail debt.
I would most likely voted for the tax increase. A vote of the people should be the way to do it.
