Meigs County to bill villages for jail prisoner care
Meigs County Commissioners ruled villages must pay for county jail prisoner maintenance after April 1. Middleport stands as the only usable village jail site. Pomeroy lacks a jail and other towns cannot hold prisoners. The action follows protests over tax division and ongoing budget trimming as lawmakers delay relief.
