"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.
