Actually tents like that are pretty expensive. They didn’t get them from anybody’s surplus. Meanwhile the hot AZ sun eats cloth and rubber and rubberized cloth for lunch. They were spend $4.5 million a year on Tent City. For 24 years.
Laugh all you want but the facts are in:

Tent City was a waste of money that existed only to bolster Arpaio’s ego. The thing was 3/4 empty already. Way past time for it to end. Probably shouldn’t have survived into the 21st century. It was a boondoggle, Arpaio was a boondoggle. Time to move on.
Many here believe Joe was a god. You won’t get through to them. They don’t care that the majority of the inmates in the jail haven’t been convicted of anything and according to the Constitution are still afforded the right of due process. Joe’s antics cost taxpayers a ton of money.
What will the cost be to maintain and operate air conditioning systems for the jail?
LOL. believe what you want, but most az news is bogus/increasingly slanted den/liberal
