In how we can reduce the prison population without increasing the risk to our communities and also thoughts on how we can look out for the safety of our prison guard population. Where they themselves dont feel that they are captive by the prisoners. You bring up a compassionate situation. We welcome your insights. I think evidence shows that if you committed murder you are not likely to commit murder after 65 but if youre a sexual predator you could be out on that playground once again. We welcome your insights on how we can work constructively evidencebased conceptual thinking and your own experience because you bring the experience of a longitude from enforcement to sentencing and inspector general. We really appreciate your service but im going to ask the staff on both sides of the aisle because this has been raised by other members so this is not a party thing. This is a committee thing, to meet with our staff on how we can implement working with the attorney general of prison refo
Retirement system did hear the message from the board of supervisors and did respond according to the policy. Thank you.

Come so far. It is those same principles that guide us farther still cared was both that understand that powers derived from the people and not from government. Calvin coolidge understood this in his own time. Andive in an age of science the value of material things. This did not great our declaration. Our declaration created them. The spirit come first. Unless we cling to that, all of our material prosperity will turn to a barren scepter in our grass. He was right. The things of the spirit do come first. We must act now to protect them. The temptation to ask richard and his fractious battles from practical terms, it would only matter to those who value religious freedom and that was won over the course of centuries of persecution and blood.

That was what it was sold as, as this cure all in a mean Spirited Society where tens of millions were left out of the system. That is miniscule numbers. Its heart breaking. Were the millions of people. One of the problems is it was hinted this stuff would be free. Its becoming more and more expensive as each day goes back. The irony was in the beginning to make sure everyone in this country was insured, now with this, we are looking at 40plus million who arent. Maybe we can whittle it down to 30 million that arent. Isnt that what we are going into here . That 30 million numberomeses from the congressional budget office. Its unclear how many of these a little more than 7 Million People that join the exchanges din have insurance, we have a good still only onethird were previously unemployed. You are basically shuffleing the deck chairs if
