The Bull’s -eye: Straight Shooting From the Sheriff:

The Larimer County Sheriff submits the 2011 budget

One of the major issues facing the county is the looming expiration of the Jails Sales Tax. Sales tax revenue is already insufficient to meet operating expenses and will expire in a few years leaving a huge deficit.  Addressing this issue is perhaps the biggest challenge facing the county.  This problem is followed by the need to expand the jail in the foreseeable future,  assuming the population of Larimer County, including the municipalities, continues to grow.  At some point, the Detention Center will need to be expanded.
