Show Notes
Ohios House Bill 497 sparks controversy over county jail projects in Cuyahoga and Lorain counties. The law, passed in December 2024, requires a two-step approval process for projects over $75,000, involving county leaders, a judge appointee, sheriff, probate judge, and court clerk. Prosecutors argue this blocks ongoing builds, while county officials accuse them of stalling. Lawmakers behind the bill claim it was meant to speed up small fixes, not create new roadblocks. The clash could head to court, forcing counties to rethink their jail plans.
