Laird faces tough queries on costs

Rep. R Marshall Witten says a small grant may signal a return to a statewide push for local jails as the Corrections Department seeks board approval. He notes the department hints regional facilities aren’t working and urges a full study on future plans and the deputy sheriffs program. The move follows grumbling over the regional system and includes a new lockup in Bennington plus refurbishments statewide.

He said the plans should serve as guidelines for growth, not as enforceable law, and rejected claims the group aims to kill environmental measures. He stressed a practical, economy minded environmental view amid disputes over the plans’ role.
