[QUOTE="klmno, post: 498748, member: 3699"] Yeah- but [I]how[/I] do I track down an investigative reporter? Is there anything I can do other than call a tv station and ask if they have one? Budyy, our GA has committees within it that review laws pertaining to certain things- so, for instance, out of all the state senators and reps, there will be a committee from each side that review juvenile laws, then toward the end of the session, they will bring their decisions to 'the floor' where all of them are together to vote on proposed changes or new lawss. Now, there have also been outside committees, formed by various profs and citizens, to review the past years' costs, how effective things have been, make suggestions, etc,- this committee was 'hired' by last year's GA. That report will also be reviewed by the senate and reps' committees while they are reviewing it. Those reports from previous years are on the internet and I have read them. I don't have a problem with them- nor the strategic master plan that resulted from them. But as they refine and review this, they need to know where the loopholes are and why it isn't woorking. I'm not holding my breath that they'll listen to me but who knows how many other people might be starting to see it's the CSU on the local level that aren't doing what they should and no one is over-seeing it to make sure they do. KOI- they have closed every other loophole so it's the only thing I can see left. Even if it takes 2-3 years before they wake up, this is one seed planted, I hope. And if the state level Department of Juvenile Justice office knows that this has been sent to the GA, maybe it will convince them that they should look into what this PO/super are doing- or not doing. If nothing else, at least I know I've done all I can and like I said, it's therapuetic for me anyway. [/QUOTE]
