California Democrat Expresses Remorse for Supporting Liberal Crime Bill Amid Surging Retail Theft Crisis
California lawmaker Lorena Gonzalez regrets supporting Prop 47—a measure intending to reform the criminal justice system by reducing certain non-violent felonies to misdemeanors. With the retail theft epidemic surging, Gonzalez feels that the policy damages local businesses, causing some to even close down.
