Failed Wayne County jail still costs $1 million a month:
"Two years after construction was halted because of ballooning expenses, the failed Wayne County jail project is still costing taxpayers more than $1 million a month.
The county broke ground on what was supposed to be a $300-million state-of-the-art jail in downtown Detroit four years ago.
But today the site is still a pile of steel and concrete — fenced and guarded — with construction costs of $151 million.
And the tab for taxpayers only grows, with no end in sight.
The jail project costs Wayne County an average of $1.2 million every month..."
