Briggs (opinions influence legislation, influence the system) - AG Shapiro, that was the same time that there were first Democrats elected, we are now exploring what a more progressive philosophy would look like, keeping this in mind, we are coming up on some elections for judges... if we want support, maybe if a new approach culd save money save tax dollars that would garner support ]]> 2020-12-21 14:50:20 UTC https://padlet.com/jlouie14/sk48vzk2tpeo07jt/wish/1036096751 per my last question, if we need to do some convincing surrounding money, i know we're received federal grants for these things in the past & i've also done research on cost benefit when instituting recidivism reduction programs (it's actually cheaper in the long run) jlouie14 https://padlet.com/jlouie14/sk48vzk2tpeo07jt/wish/1036122590 Napoleon: investing in stopping recidivism is best financially and from compassion... even ideas that make great sense need to go through the process of legislation ]]> 2020-12-21 15:01:14 UTC https://padlet.com/jlouie14/sk48vzk2tpeo07jt/wish/1036122590
