'Rightsizing' jail ideas

CLINTON — It’s a common term used when candidates blaze the campaign trail, though no one on the Clinton City Council is up for re-election this fall.

Rather the words “rightsizing government” were thrown out as what the city of Clinton’s approach should be when thinking about a possible law center partnership with Clinton County. After all, city leaders want a sustainable plan for its currently rented-out police department facility. As for the county, without a long-term jail solution soon, inmates could require busing transportation between Clinton and another suitable jail.
