Fortes fortuna adiuvat: It's time to build a new jail

A great man once said, “Would of’s and should of’s are like armpits and back sides; they both stink and everyone’s got ‘em.” Okay, he didn’t say back sides, but the point is that there is nothing worse than having to listen to some sad sack mope about an opportunity missed. If our elected officials, specifically the Judge Executive and the four magistrates, kick the new jail-can down the road, they will be missing an opportunity that may not present itself again.
