County access to BSO-occupied facilities

Summary

The Sheriff's Office is using county-owned buildings, including the RDTC, but county officials say they've been refused entry and ignored tour requests. The commission authorized legal action to force access. Residents benefit if taxpayer-owned facilities and spending are open to the officials who fund them.
