I reject this rationalization for more police and jail funding in Salt Lake County, Mayor Jenny Wilson.
If "homelessness, mental health, trauma and substance use" are problems, then more case workers, social workers, housing, and treatment resources are needed. Police and jails just inflict more pain on people who are already struggling with what problems they have.
