    Not to pick on California, but I feel like this is sort of same shit, different day ([jezebel.com]) in regards to California institutions being woefully underfunded and admins. being overloaded and overworked. #phillipgarrido

    @dreamweave: well some state's have better tax laws. We had a lengthy discussion yesterday about California capping property taxes and how that's hurt the state in the long run.

    @dreamweave: California seems to always be on the extreme. Propositions have created an impossible situation where the legislature has ever growing mandated spending requirements and very limited ability to increase revenue. #phillipgarrido

    @bluebears: oh please know I wasn't being a smartass, I was being sincere. I missed yesterday's discussion, but am definitely aware of how Prop 13 jacked up CA's future in any number of areas. I guess it's all relative, but I am curious as to which states are doing it significantly better. My state (NC) desperately needs to broaden its tax base and EVERYONE knows it, but getting politicians to stand up and support it is like pulling teeth. Do you (or anyone reading this) know of states where state workers are well-paid and not overworked in relation to their pay? #phillipgarrido

    @dreamweave: I couldn't tell if you were being a "smartass" or not, I was just trying to respond to you in a serious way. And to answer your question I think there are gradations depending on the state.

    @dreamweave: Eve Carson was murdered by two guys who were on probation but were not being followed closely enough. Their probation officers were overworked and underpaid.

    I too can't think of a state where this is not the case. This is one reason why lots of states are farming out prisons to private enterprises with the lowest bids, just to save a little money. Ideally they'd be raising taxes, reforming drug punishments, and hiring more parole and probation officers, but of course anyone who proposes that would be shot down and never get re-elected. People hate taxes, and they hate "criminals" even more. "More walls and fewer rights" is the refrain regarding prisoners. #phillipgarrido

    The more I read stuff like this, the more I agree with Sen. Webb, who said, to paraphrase roughly, "Either we have the worst people in the world in America or we're doing something wrong." I hope Webb makes some traction in fixing things. I'm all for being "tough on crime," but I think legislators are so focused on that they've forgotten what it really means. #phillipgarrido

    According to the report, California failed to follow parole protocols for Garrido 90% of the time — which, for those of you keeping score at home, is an F.

    Well, that depends on what your perspective is. If you're grading them on Overal Suck, they get an A-. #phillipgarrido

    Also, Garrido had been sentenced for a sex crime, correct? No one with that in his past needs "low level" supervision. I'm all for atoning and shit, but if you've fucked with a kid, you should be watched pretty carefully until you're dead. #phillipgarrido

    Unacceptable. If I perform 90% of the time, I'd be fired. And I only set up windows and stuff.

    I would like to know this, though. Is this a case of overwork/understaffing? Individuals? A systemic problem? I want to know what happened in this particular case. #phillipgarrido

    This is an incredible example of how tough on crime policies can back fire. California incarcerated so many people for drug use that the system can't function. They had to stop education and reform programs because they didn't have the money, so people left prison with no skills to get a job. They overburdened parole officers so they can't do their job. That is when mistakes happen. #phillipgarrido
