"How Proposition 36 convinced Californians to vote against their political views" was the title of a grossly misleading article written in @CALMatters, apparently by a soft-on-crime extremist who is out of step with voters in California who overwhelmingly voted for #Prop36. Before this Proposition was passed, stealing $900.00 was treated as a minor crime, and that is crazy because it encourages theft. #CriminalJustice #crime
