FCWPP Alert
April 13, 2007
Dear FCWPP Activist:
SB 5070, the state omnibus reentry bill to salvage lives
and reduce
recidivism for the benefit of offenders, their families, and our
communities, is in the House awaiting floor action before tomorrow's
cutoff
deadline.
Please urge your representatives to help bring this important bill to a
vote, and to only support amendments that will mitigate unnecessarily
harsh
sanctions and make the provision of needed housing and other services more
efficient.
If you would like to see a copy of the bill, go to
www.leg.wa.gov and click
on bills. You will also find your representative's phone number and email
address at this same web page.
Thank you for assisting in this critical effort, which is a key criminal
justice element in FCWPP's 2007 legislative program.
Daniel Clark, Legislative Committee Chair
Friends Committee on Washington Public Policy
