First of all, I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

The Association is already gearing up for the next legislative session. Our top priority is getting the regional jail costs under control. We
are doing so by working with Joe DeLong, Regional Jail Director, who has many ideas to get the cost of running the jails under control.

To do this, we need your participation during the 2013 legislation. As you are aware, many bills that will affect our budgets will pop up during the session. We need to prepare ourselves to make phone calls to legislators and attending meetings at the Capitol. Good Luck! It has been a pleasure serving as your President!
