Summary: <p>The Jefferson Exchange: January 20, 2014, Hour 1A:</p><p>Klamath County is another of the counties constrained by a small public safety budget. Now a group is proposing a fee on every household and business in the county to fund<a href="http://sheriff.klamathcounty.org/" target="_blank"><strong> jail operations.</strong></a> Citizens Organized for Public Safety--COPS--suggests a $144 dollar fee, not a levy based on property values. COPS wants the item on the May election ballot. Randy L. Shaw of COPS is our guest.  </p>
