GRAND ISLAND, Neb. (AP) — State officials have rejected Hall County’s effort to raise its daily fee for housing state prisoners.

County corrections director Fred Ruiz told the county Board of Supervisors on Tuesday that he’d sought $93 a day, an increase of $5 from the current $88 a day. And he sought a guarantee of 90 state inmates a day.

The state rejected his bid and countered with an offer of $88 a day for 82 state inmates.

The county board voted Tuesday to offer the state a rate of $88 per day for 82 beds and offer to provide space for 14 more inmates for $75 a day each.
