CUT PRISON TERMS FOR SOME CRIMES

Possession of child pornography is a crime. So is possession of
marijuana. California has a $15 billion deficit. Does anyone in our
government know how much the deficit would be reduced if we changed
the sentences for these two crimes? Some of us in California would
prefer to make different choices, to have more money spent on
educating our youth, or providing health coverage for the poor, than
to lock people up in prison for lengthy terms for these crimes. I
applaud our Republicans who are refusing to institute new taxes.
Legislators need to adjust spending to fit income.
