We in Wake County are fortunate to have a board of Commisioners who heard the request of their constituents and acted to correct the actions of what I can only assume was a poorly informed Sherrif. In this divisive political climate we live in, it is extremely gratifying to know that our elected officials can look past party affiliations and just do what is right! Kudos to the Board of Wake County Commisioners!

I think the plaque which is prominently mounted in the lobby of the facility is a wonderful reminder of who this facility was built for. The bottom of the plaque which would not frame well here reads,

Authorized by the Board of County Commisioners. November 17th, 1997.

Thank goodness plaques and monuments are here to remind us of our history.
