 | Forsyth to use fines to design new jail |
 Forsyth County commissioners voted Tuesday to jump-start work on a new county jail, using money from fines and bond forfeitures.
On a 4-0 vote with one member absent, the commissioners voted to spend $616,000 to continue design of the proposed 482-bed jail.
The new jail is estimated to cost about $60 million, and plans to issue bonds to cover the expense are expected to be put before Forsyth County voters in November.

| Questions of the week |
 Lt. Steve:
I was driving up 400 and a cop stopped me for speeding. There was traffic to my right so I pulled over to the left against the median wall. The officer was agitated with me and I didn't like his attitude. I couldn't pull over to the right because of the traffic. What should I have done? Was I dumb to do that?
Dear Dummy:
Having been there myself, I'm guessing the officer was a bit on the agitated side knowing that he was about to be run over. The only thing that would fit in that lane is a clown car so I'm sure half of yours and the cop's car, which of course is behind yours and will be the first one hit, was sticking out there to be hit by one of our fine drivers who just may be on his or her cell phone, texting something insignificant that could have waited.
