Budget Problems Put Crimp in Re-Entry Facility for Yolo County

Opponents of a proposed re-entry facility for Yolo County have been aided by an expected ally–the state’s budget crisis and the nation’s economic crisis. According to an article in the Sacramento Bee on Wednesday, the state has been unable to sell bonds to pay for public works projects including $1 billion to fund re-entry facilities.
These problems are also holding up the $750 in jail construction funds including the $30 million the county is relying on from the state to expand the jail in Woodland–one of the major reasons for the county’s push to build a re-entry facility.
