Gang Tax is a waste > Rexroad.com

The LA Daily News recently reported on a 12-0 vote by the Los Angeles City Council for a $30 annual parcel tax to fight gangs.

I am fairly confident that I would have been voting against this measure for several reasons.

The most important reason is that we are soon going to be letting lots of these gang members do after a short time of being incarcerated. With a federal judge stepping in to become King of the state prison system we are in need to space more than anything. Even if we do arrest the hoodlums they will soon be right back out prowling the streets.

The criminal justice system we have in California has several choke points right now. At this point the biggest problem in lack of capacity in our jails and prisons.
