Cuyahoga County's nearly billion-dollar jail project could be halted due to a legal issue. State law requires two oversight committees to approve plans before any real money is spent on jail or courthouse projects. County Executive Chris Ronayne and his administration have been working on the project without oversight. County Prosecutor Michael O'Malley has warned that anything they've done so far may be illegal, resulting in tens of millions of taxpayer dollars potentially coming out of individual pockets. The law changed in April, shifting power back to the courts, allowing Ronayne to take control of the oversight committee. The solution is collaborative and open discussion about tax dollars.
