Dear

I request safety for my family and community. It is imperative to amend SB91. SB91 is too soft on crime. Amend SB91 to be tougher and penalize crime to the fullest. The laws must be in the best interest of safety for law-abiding citizens, families, law enforcement, and businesses. Public Safety must be our top priority.

Amend SB91 to increase crime levels and increase jail time. Currently SB91 reduces both. This is unacceptable and favors crime. Raise felonies that were reduced in SB91 to misdemeanors back to the felony level. All felony convictions must result in substantial jail time; no mandatory suspension. Felonies are serious crimes and must be treated as such.

Amend SB 91 to ensure at least 65% of a sentence is completed before eligibility for parole is considered. SB91 reduced the completion of jail time for eligibility for parole. Any reduciton is unacceptable and undermines our judicial system. Those convicted for murder should not have any parole eligibility. The victim no longer has any options - those who murder should not have any options.

Increase misdemeanor sentencing and classification. SB91 reduces misdemeanors to infractions or violations. Increase the presumptive ranges so that the criminal gets the message that these crimes will not be tolerated. Stop crime.

Laws should favor the law abiding citizen. I am very disappointed SB91 passed. Crime at any level is not acceptable. Criminals need to get the message that criminal acts will not be tolerated. I agree that the most egregious and violent criminal acts should have the harshest consequences. I request SB91 be amended throughout to best protect my family and those in my community.

Sincerely,
