Wayne Hughes Jr. notes that Prop. 47 changes lives. I couldn't agree more. Now that we have so many more homeless drug addicts being released into our neighborhoods and cities, our life has indeed changed. What is it that supporters of this proposition don't understand? When you don't hold people accountable for their actions, they will repeat those actions over and over. And why is it now "non-serious" to steal up to $950 from me? If the jails are too crowded, add a few more floors. I have no problem with my tax money being used for rehabs, but without the threat of jail and a felony record, not many will choose rehab over being released to the streets. Prop. 47 should be repealed. Kevin Keely Tustin - --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
