in summary, it is pretty silly to spend money making fish just so people can recreate when there's the serious issue of criminal justice i.e. we need to spend our dollars coddling all these worthless unsalvagleable bags of crap where probably have access to better medical care than most people who log onto this BB
Wow! It's amazing at how poorly you understand our legal system and the reality of the death penalty.
At last check, there are about 1300 inmates on death row in the entire United States. While the average cost to taxpayers for a death row inmate is more that a life-imprisonment inmate due to the lengthy appeals, it still represents a miniscule fraction of the total state budget.
Suspending the legal rights of people just because you want to afford a fish hatchery is example of just how misplaced peoples values have become in this country.
Let's face it, people. If you have voted for repeals of taxes in recent years, you might as well have put the padlock on the hatchery door yourself. If you don't want to pay, don't expect the services.
