Convicted Criminals Have a New PC Name
April 29, 2016
The latest from the administration is a new term for convicted criminals. They will now be known as ‘justice involved individuals’.
The Equal Opportunity Employment Office has made it all but illegal to not hire former criminals and Obama is giving early release to some dangerous criminals. He’s also putting tens of thousands of illegal alien criminals on the streets. Perhaps the reason is because he doesn’t think criminals exist, especially youthful criminals.
The DOJ says the term ‘convicted criminal’ makes it too difficult for a convicted criminal to get a job. It is currently being applied to youthful criminals convicted of a crime.

It’s a new year, but the pandemic and its many harms to the people and communities across our state continue to deepen. Families are struggling to put food on the table and stay up-to-date on bills and rent. Landlords and neighborhood businesses are struggling as well. The ability of neighborhoods, communities, and the economy to begin recovering will stall.
A month ago, many of the federal and state supportive policies and investments expired. The short-term, small-scale nature of the response in the latest federal aid package makes it urgent for North Carolina legislators to prioritize a stopgap spending measure now that they have returned to Raleigh.
OPINION (GREENLINING INSTITUTE) – Before the pandemic, California battled the highest levels of poverty, income inequality, and the largest unhoused population in the country. The state also placed the second-lowest in homeownership per capita. Now due to COVID-19, California can expect long-term budget deficits for the next few years. Yet despite all this, the state continues to subsidize wealthy homeowners through the mortgage interest deduction. By eliminating the mortgage interest deduction on vacation homes and reforming the mortgage interest deduction on primary homes to match federal law, we would free up about $500 million in California’s annual budget. It’s time to peel away a layer of one of the real estate industry’s most sacrosanct programs: the mortgage interest deduction.
