I worked in the courthouse for over 10 years and believe my experience gives me a basis for an opinion. The building is way too small for current operations let alone moving into the future. This is not a cushy country club office space, it's cramped, old, and worn out. There are people working, literally in what used to be broom closets. The location of the jury assembly room and the courtrooms is dysfunctional and unsafe. Transportation of inmates from the jail to the courthouse is cumbersome, time consuming and expensive. A building designed for modern court proceedings would be a good use of tax payer funds.....far more useful and important that a new Eugene City Hall.
