It is looking good. CA. Proposition 36 is polling at about 70% in favor. That could be a big deal.
Prop
36 is basically a do-over for Proposition 47. This ballot proposition
was passed by voters who didn't bother to read it and who bought into
the okeydoke. It essentially decriminalized theft, prostitution, drug
use and shitting on the sidewalk. This do-over will give prosecutors
who are actually interested in prosecutions a decent handle on
professional retail thieves, drug fiends, street walkers and homeless
people who just refuse to get with the program. The CA legislature is
so afraid of it that they tried to pass a bunch of "head them off at the
pass" legislation to make it appear that Prop 36 isn't needed. The
legislators were unsuccessful.
