California Assembly Speaker Karen Bass plans to strip the most
controversial provisions from a Senate-approved plan that would have
trimmed the state's prison population by 27,000 inmates. The Assembly version would keep about 10,000 more inmates behind bars
and leave the state with a new, nearly $200 million budget hole, Bass
said early Friday.

You're half right, Red.
Legalize & tax marijuana and watch the prison population go down and the state budget balance.
