Local prosecutors are blamed for messing up Gov. Brown’s realignment

It seems that the state is blaming local DAs for running up the prison population. These rotten people are actually prosecuting criminals under the second-strike category which sends them to state prison rather than county jail. These two-strikers are being sent up the river at a rate about 1/3 greater than was the case prior to Gov. Jerry Brown’s realignment.
The solution is obvious. The state needs to pass a law that requires local jurisdictions to get permission from the Governor or the AG to prosecute second-strike and third-strike cases in order to make Jerry and his realignment hoax look good (or at least not so bad).
