New Report from the CA State Auditor (July 25, 2024) found, not surprisingly, that Prop 47 resulted in more prolific thieves stealing more often. The Auditor’s concluding recommendation to state lawmakers? … “[Enact] a proposal for approval by the voters that would amend Proposition 47, to allow more severe punishment for those convicted multiple times of theft, likely by identifying such offenses as potential felonies instead of automatically classifying them as misdemeanors.” This is exactly what Proposition 36 (“The Homelessness, Drug Addiction and Theft Reduction Act”) will do. So many in CA have been crying out for this common sense fix for so long. The fact that those in power in the Capitol have failed to act, year-after-year, and that many continue to claim that “Prop 47 is working,” is part of the reason so few voters trust government.  Fortunately, this November, CA voters will have the chance to fix it themselves, just like the Auditor recommends. Why would any serious lawmaker continue to fight this? https://t.co/QdpwOEQuBB #California #Crime #RetailTheft #FixProp47 #Prop36istheFix #VoteYesProp36
