Dane County voters won’t be asked to approve a proposed renovation and consolidation project for the county jail.
The county board this week rejected a proposal to add a referendum on the project to the April ballot. The board voted 21-to-14 Thursday night against asking voters to approve the 13-point-five million dollar project. Dane County Sheriff Kalvin Bennett said after the vote that he and those who support the project have a lot of work to do “in regards to compromise and providing insight and information on what the best options are going forward.”
