UC workers are getting fired,...this is outrageous. UC workers are getting fired, state workers are getting furloughed(or however the hell you spell it), education is being slashed, state spending is being cleaved across the board and the governator has the audacity to fund a new death row facility? Christ, commute their sentences to life, let out the non-violent drug offenders and save some money. I don't know who to be madder at: the idiot or the idiots who voted for him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8107037609455779557.post-35863457226174360602009-08-04T08:29:21.996-07:002009-08-04T08:29:21.996-07:00Thank you for commenting, PenRoss.

Why is it CA has so much difficulty electing officials who can be proactive thinkers, rather than reactors? After working for CDC for several years, I believe I know some of the people the govenor is listening to and they only react. We need to abolish the death penalty. We need to parole those who have been rehabilitated who have indeterminate sentences, so they can help us pay the taxes to get us out of the current mess. We need law changes about sentencing and we need to remember that inmates are human beings and are like the majority of "free" people, capable of change. <br /><br />PenRossAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
