Vallier's ultimate goal is making the department--particularly the guard service--a more viable business. While it is part of the University, Harvard's various departments hire the unit like they would an independent contractor...
...needed to bring HR3355, the crime bill as amended in conference, to the floor for an up-or-down vote. The package differed from the original bill in several significant ways: its overall price tag had increased $5 billion, to $33 billion, and it authorized $5.3 billion more to hire twice as many police officers, but $4.8 billion less for prison construction; it contained $7.6 billion -- $600 million more -- for crime prevention and created a $30.2 billion crime "trust fund" to cover expenses. Ten million dollars was earmarked for the establishment of a criminal-justice center at Lamar University...
Wildlife advocates see two primary solutions. One is to hire more rangers, which seems unlikely in the current budget-cutting climate. The other is to impose tougher federal laws, which now assign penalties as high as $250,000 for felonies and up to five years' imprisonment. Law enforcers also enlist % state laws to prosecute poachers in national parks, but state statutes vary notoriously. Wyoming, for instance, regulates hunters down to the number of shotgun pellets allowed in heavily hunted areas; while Alabama's idiosyncratic "coon on a log" law is more liberal, permitting the maintenance of up to 10 captured...
...officer, exactly the opposite of the ratio 25 years ago. Whatever the value of prevention programs, would-be criminals will be deterred only when jail is the likeliest consequence of their behavior. The solution is more cops, but at the moment, the pending bill earmarks only enough money to hire about 20,000 officers annually -- and after five years, the federal aid runs out. Many localities short of cash (which fairly describes most of them) are leery of hiring cops they will have to lay off when the funds dry up. A true anticrime bill would rework the spending splits...
...most successful ventures is Mountasia Enterprises, based in Alpharetta, Georgia. Proprietors Scott and Juli Demerau started their first park in 1986 at an abandoned skateboard center in Mobile, Alabama. Within weeks the crush of visitors forced them to hire traffic police. In six months they had branched out to two more locations. Three years later things were going so well that they decided to get married -- on the miniature golf course at one of their Georgia fun centers. Since their debut, the Demeraus have expanded their original investment of $450,000 into an amusement empire that includes 26 parks...
