SB91 may not be wholly responsible, but, (hahahah) 'anecdotally', as the refuseniks in charge are fond of saying, it surely does seem to be contributing. Some parts of it could likely be salvaged, and certainly the entire bill should be scrutinized before just being tossed. Parts of it were surely intended to help rather than harm. Being reworked rather than deleted might preserve the good parts, if there are any, and move towards the apparent goals of saving money and reducing recidivism.

However, the parts concerning property crimes are NOT working. "Stop, thief, or I'll say 'Stop' again!" doesn't cut it.

Just a hint, Tundra. Humans have been "wrestling with this forever". Poverty and drug abuse have been around for centuries. We just have to keep working on it. But don't worry, APD and the DA have made it clear they don't have enough time/energy/will/resources/donuts/coffee/hankies/etc. to go All-Out-Thug, Police State, on our city.
