The vision for the facility is for it to be self-funded from an operational standpoint and to be an economic driver for county businesses as a sports and community complex. This would be done through hosting elite athletic tournaments, recruiting related business tenants and trade shows. Funding for project development would be done through grants, private investment and general county funds, the release said.
“This proposed project will not increase taxes for any resident,” Murphy said in the release. “The final numbers on this project have not come in yet, but several community stakeholders have come forward wanting to partner on this project. Should this project proceed, it will be a collaboration with multiple public and private entities.”
With Felicity Montagu and Brian Bovell
Felicity Montagu, Johnny Vegas and Brian Bovell have joined the cast of sci-fi-comedy The Unreason.
The film stars Ruth Syratt and Megan Stevenson as the owners of a vintage shop who stumble across a time machine, which allows them to travel back to the past to restock their shop… but each time unwittingly damaging the space-time fabric.
The three new cast members will play the presenters of a cancelled 1980s science show who invented the device.
Detectorists star Sophie Thompson had previously been announced as playing the jail-keeper of The Unreason: a hellish dimension where people and objects from throughout time become lost; with Tony Way playing an off-beat inventor who comes to the aid of the time-travellers.
Thank you for the opportunity to address the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights on questions relating to pretrial and bail reform. These are critical questions with significant and far-reaching implications for the civil rights and welfare of millions of Americans, and I am especially thankful that the Commission has chosen to investigate and shine a light on these issues.
My name is Lars Trautman and I am a resident senior fellow of criminal justice and civil liberties policy at the R Street Institute in Washington, D.C. In this role, I study bail and pretrial practices in the United States and advocate for improvements that will create a more equitable, effective and efficient criminal justice system. Earlier in my career, I served as an assistant district attorney in Essex County, Massachusetts. In that capacity, I participated in hundreds of arraignments, gaining firsthand experience with bail determinations as well as insights into some of the system’s flaws.

During the tough-on-crime 1990s, a California juvenile justice law introduced in the name of fiscal responsibility led to an immediate, drastic drop in youth criminal court commitments to state-run juvenile facilities, new research finds.
The legislation from state Sen. Rob Hurtt, a Republican, took effect in August 1996 and shifted huge chunks of the cost of incarcerating youths adjudicated of minor offenses from the state to counties.
