Anti-Recidivism Coalition (ARC)’s Post

Don't fall for the fear mongering. I used to practice law in Kansas. You know what the felony theft threshold is in that "Red" state? $1,000. You know what most of my clients were struggling with? Poverty. Prop 47 brought California's threshold for felony theft in line with the majority of American states. Only 10 states in America have thresholds that are less than $1,000, including California. Reducing theft and other property crimes requires us to come together to address root causes. Repealing Prop 47 will not do that. But it will increase mass incarceration and the cycle of generational poverty that can result. #Prop47 #factsoverfear #carenotcages #criminaljusticereform #retailtheft #humancapital

Jackson County Prosecutor's Office Sixteenth Judicial Circuit of Jackson County, Missouri Jackson County Sports Complex Authority NFL ESPN @followers Everyone JACKSON COUNTY VOTERS WILL NEVER APPROVE ANY REFERENDUM BECAUSE VOTERS DO NOT TRUST COUNTY GOVERNMENT. NO AMOUNT OF REGOTIATION WILL BE ACCEPTABLE TO VOTERS. THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE NOR THE LEGISLATURE ARE TRUSTED BY VOTERS Donna Peyton asked James Frank Abbott to provide her with justification for why JACKSON County Missouri Design and Construction was being illegally funded. Here it is: Source 2023 Adopted Budget Unadjusted Revenue & Fund Balance. $200,291,811 Subtract American Rescue Plan Funds. 34,950,000 Total Municipal Bond Issue Permissible w/o Voter Approval Article VI Paragraph 26 (a) of MO Constitution. $165,341,811 Non Compliant Bond Issued 5/2023. 273,985,000 Balance Sheet Revenue look Shortage. $108,643,189 2016 $52 M impermissible because partnership with KCATA is not permitted under Article VI, Paragraph 23 of Missouri Constitution Best Regards, James F Abbott Founder and Chief Executive The Clean Green Collective james@thecleangreencollective.com (816) 501.6227 https://lnkd.in/gKvjUe8J I requested the terminations of County Administrator Troy Schulte and Legislative Auditor TROY Thomas for cause. Both were in position to have avoided the illegal issuance of $273,985,000 in municipal bonds. Troy Schulte rightfully feared voters would not approve; however, the Missouri Constitution required voter approval. Troy Thomas was positioned to advise the Legislature to reject Ordinance 5732 Adopted May 1, 2023. I asked for 10% of their annual salaries as a whistleblower. The Legislature has authority to defund these positions.

On a dreary, damp Sunday in South Gippsland, what else does one do but dip into the mired world of #American #Politics. The body of this article is a #masterpiece letter, written by the Fulton County District Attorney to a Republican Congressman who sought to exert political influence in the legal system. On the surface, it has nothing to do with #RoboNDIS, or #RoboDebt. But, it has a huge amount to do with politicians behaving badly. We have different tools. The Americans have #GrandJuries. We have #RoyalCommissions. When the probability of laws being broken needs investigation, the Americans, through their courts, convene a #GrandJury, independent of the politics. When the probability of laws being broken in Australia, we have to rely on the politicians to convene the #RoyalCommisison. We have the option of a #Petition to Parliament to ask the politicians to act, but it remains that only the politicians can do this. The #RoboDebt Royal Commission demonstrated that many people, including politicians, behaved badly. Many people involved in #RoboDebt were also involved in #RoboNDIS. No doubt, other actors were also involved. We need to know who was involved, and how they were involved. We need to know what laws may have been broken (or just slightly bent - it's the same thing in the end). We need transparency, accountability and just compensation. That's why, through our personal ups and downs, we will continue to campaign for the politicians to be on the right side of history, and convene the #RoboNDIS Royal Commission.

Let's all hold our horses and realize a legislative audit in Arkansas doesn't always mean what you may think. In Jefferson County, a lot more than $19,000 can be spent with few repercussions and documented in an audit. Then what? #politics #politicsandlaw
