In this episode, we are looking at the Goldendale City Council's March 2026 meetings, and unpacking a major financial threat quietly draining the city's public safety budget. We break down how a cascade of controversies and ongoing mismanagement at the Klickitat County jail, including a recent two-million-dollar wrongful death settlement, is forcing local municipalities to foot the bill for extreme medical clearances just to process standard arrests.
In This Episode:
- Escalating issues with the county jail contract
- The tightrope of state road funding: why the city used stop signs instead of lowering the speed limit on twenty-first street.
- Distributing over one hundred thousand dollars in lodging tax grants for local tourism.
- Securing multi-year contracts for the city's police and municipal employees.
