[quote Therapist]Yep, we got 3 mil to spend on this, but we are going to shut down several juvenile facilities and lay off about 100 people that work with juveniles because there is a short fall of about 4 mil !!! Guess the money is better spent tilting at windmills rather than working with kids and keeping the public safe !!! Makes sense to me !![/quote]
I heard on the news the shortage for Juvenile facilities treatment was $2.5 million. But my thoughts exactly. They'll waste $3 million to make a statement that most of us don't even agree with but they won't fund at risk juveniles. I wonder how many dollars the state will spend in the next decade for every dollar cut now as a direct consequence. We all know how cheap it is to imprison someone[crazy]. Maybe part of their bigger picture for real estate developers to profit if they can increase incarceration rates in the State. Then they can try to justify moving the prison from Draper again.
