Officials will vote on whether or not to increase taxes for Madison Co. jail expansion

MADISON COUNTY, Ky. (WTVQ) – Madison County Fiscal Court will vote on whether or not to increase taxes that would allow for expansion of the Madison County jail.

The jailer says it’s a matter of safety and if nothing is changed the taxpayers will pickup the tab.

Most people say they just can’t afford to pay an extra hundred to three hundred dollars a year.

How much more tax payers could pay depends on the value of their homes.
