Lake County leaders are moving forward with a pricey furniture purchase for a new sheriff’s building, even after some pushback. The board approved about $740,000 for furnishings, including office chairs that can run into the thousands of dollars each. One supervisor argued that kind of spending doesn’t sit right, especially with other departments facing budget pressure. The furniture is for a larger renovation project expected to wrap up in June. In the end, the board approved it, but not without raising some eyebrows.
