[QUOTE="skeeter, post: 312516, member: 439"] we do a lot of volunteering for safety issues. We see a LOT of those that need mental health services in the justice system instead. There just isn't anything else to do with them. We tried to get a sales tax passed (half a percent for 7 years, quarter for 8, then done) for a comprehensive safety plan. Included in this was support for mental health, recidivism programs, juvenile prevention programs, reintroduction to society programs, and yes, a new jail because we were loosing 800 beds. The opposition locked onto that "new jail" and that's ALL anyone heard about, and the measure was defeated. It's just so sad. It's sad to see Vito yet again in jail again (Vito is schizophrenic, and at times, gets "set up" by the neighborhood druggies to take a fall for them). It's sad to see Todd back in court again (I'm not sure what diagnosis Todd has but he self medicates and has a nasty streak when he does). [/QUOTE]
