RUSSELLVILLE, Ark. (AP) – Voters in Pope County have rejected five bond issues that would have used expected revenue from a future casino to pay for a new jail, a senior citizens center and other community improvements. The five bond issues all failed in Tuesday’s election. Leaders have called for a new detention center because of overcrowding issues. County Judge Ben Cross told The Courier that he expects the jail funding to be brought before voters again in the future.
