Less monitoring of sex offenders?
Governor Doyle today predicted the state budget deficit could reach $3 billion. That means many programs and expenditures will have to be re-examined, including the state’s monitoring of sex offenders. The Journal Sentinel asks:
“How will state government afford any new programs and new employees to run them - for example, 103 more workers the state Department of Corrections says it needs to manage sex offenders, including those being tracked by GPS units? Hiring those 103 workers would cost $10.2 million over the next two years, the agency says in budget documents.”
Maybe if the state wouldn’t have been spending like crazy for the past several budgets we wouldn’t be forced to confront such a serious question.
