Incumbents in Sacramento have proposed legislation that weaken our state’s criminal laws. For example, they tried to reduce the penalty for certain injury-causing muggings to the minor crime of petty theft. They also tried to all but eliminate extra prison time that currently must be served when a felon uses a gun in a serious crime, including to kill someone with it. I will oppose such mistakes. We also need to tackle serious traffic violations like street racing and wild speeding. These are not problems unique to us, e need to learn from other communities who are implementing new solutions.
