NO MORE PRISONS

I read with interest that Assemblyman Bill Leonard wants to place a $2
billion bond on the March 2000 ballot to construct six new prison
facilities throughout California.

It seems to me that the taxpayers of California could spend their money in
much more meaningful ways, such as on education or preventive programs or
drug rehabilitation before incarceration occurs.
