Where's the 'fund' in that?

from The Ron Show Hosted by Ron Roberts

I spent more than half of my show agreeing with Republican politicians, y'all. Let that sink in. Fulton district 2 commissioner Bob Ellis went all-in on Sheriff Pat Labat's alleged mishandling of money in a fund meant for "inmate welfare" on things like soirees, party DJs and personal vehicle use. Now, while Labat - or for that matter anyone from his department - was present to speak to the allegations, commissioner Marvin Arrington ran interference - and also might have a point. Hear the exchange. Then, we learn the same Fulton Jail is housing inmates far longer than is necessary. John Albers (R - Roswell) pressed for change. Okay, enough gloating about Republicans; here's the pivot: posit that Fulton Jail stays often become prolonged stays with the very reality that Georgia legislative Republicans are pushing to broaden cash bail, and ... well, you get it. Lastly, let's go to the theme park ... at least, the biz. Is a Six Flags merger going to impact the patrons' experience?
