We, the undersigned, are outraged that the Governor and legislative leaders, behind closed doors, committed us, the taxpayers to over $7 billion – $15 Billion including debt service – to expand California\’s out of control prison system. Both houses of the Legislature suspended the Constitution to vote on AB 900 with no advanced notice, no public hearings, or even any actual language in print prior to the vote. We are appalled that this failed system will now be expanded by 53,000 more beds, (40,000 in state prisons and 13,000 in county jails). We question whether representative government exists in California at all.
