Woodbury County jail bonds OK’d but not Monona County bonds

News

March 4th, 2020 by Ric Hanson

A bond issue for one new western Iowa county jail was approved Tuesday, but votes for jail bonds in another county fell short. Woodbury County voters approved a $50.3 million bond issue to replace the existing jail, which officials say is overcrowded and has a number of deficiencies. Voters in neighboring Monona County narrowly rejected a $6.2 million bond issue that would have funded a replacement for the county’s overcrowded, 46-year-old facility. The measure received 57% — 3 percentage points less than the 60% required for passage.
