adVisory board," Shutty said. "It also has been recom-
mended unanimously by the county's Criminal Justice
Working Team. And so this has already begun to be
vetted as a ballot measure in the community by folks
that have ether taken a look at the county's financ.es
as part of that process last year or folks that are a part
of our entire criminal justice system in the county."
Shutty added that though the percentages and
dollar amounts of revenue earned shared between
county departments from the proposed sales tax
may change. However, he said that When language
is finalized for the August ballot measure, voters will
know exactly where and how that revenue would po-
tentially be spent.
