Please vote yes on 1A – this is a countywide question. Summarized, 1A allows Jefferson County to “De-Bruce” for the next seven years. Jefferson County is one of only two counties in the state who has not de-bruced. As our county continues to grow, we must to be able to keep the taxes that are already being collected to continue to provide services for our citizens – this is not a tax increase. 

If 1A does not pass, the county will be facing a 15 million short-fall which will result in a reduction of law enforcement deputy’s and the inmate population of the county jail. EDUCATE yourself by visiting KeepJeffcoSafe.com
