WE NEED TO ANTE UP TO GET REFORMS
Brian Hicks notes in We Need to Ante Up to Get Reforms:
Mr. Hicks is partially right. Either we need to pay more or we need to be more discriminating in deciding whom to incarcerate.Many of the problems facing the Department of Corrections, the solicitors, the courts and the police all boil down to one thing: money. Between the worst budget deficits this state has ever seen, coupled with years of tax cuts, there simply is not enough cash to do all that needs to be done.
The hard truth is, if we are going to make these thugs pay, we are going to have to pay.
