Eleni Kounalakis on Crime

 

 


Increasing penalties probably won't do what people want

One of the few issues raised was Proposition 36, a measure on the November ballot to increase the penalties for repeat theft and drug crimes that voters rolled back a decade ago, making them felonies again. Kounalakis acknowledged concerns about "deteriorating public safety" and said California has "to send the message that it's not okay to steal," but she worried that "this initiative is complicated and it is probably not going to do what people want." She said wanted to keep her vote private.
