“Outstanding service. They were extremely careful delivering the extra large container into our driveway.” -- A. L. GARNER
It fills in a picture of what they're daily lives were like," Eastberg said. The books will be on display in a library on the third floor of the Pabst Mansion next month. (WISN Milwaukee)

The results were fantastic.Our Municipal Rose Garden transformed from a disgrace to the number one rose garden in the country. Library volunteers assist in re-shelving books, which enable libraries to extend their hours without the standard increase in spending (2014 city auditor report).As bullish as I am on volunteers, I don’t believe they can be responsible for cleaning our roads countywide. We need something permanent and ongoing. Thus, I propose expanding the use of county jail inmates and alternative sentencing to clean our roadways of litter, weeds, and graffiti.I believe county inmates should devote their days to improving our community, under supervision of county personnel. It would not only clear our blighted roadways, but would also provide inmates with important life skills, responsibility, civic engagement and a sense of purpose that could reduce recidivism once inmates return to the general population.Like our Facebook page for more conversation and news coverage from the Bay Area and beyond. There are two primary obstacles to this solution: liability and funding. While it is highly unlikely that inmates dressed in bright orange vests would be hit by a passing vehicle, governments must be prepared for even the rarest of occurrences.Instead of using Santa Clara County tax dollars for programs outside of the county’s primary responsibilities, I think we should dedicate precious funds to pay for the necessary liability insurance, and for staff to supervise inmates in a professional and safe manner.This is not a new idea, but its use is limited. What I am proposing is vastly expanding the use of the approximately 3,000 county jail inmates to clean public areas year round.Critics may claim that making inmates clean the roads will take work away from existing government employees. Nonsense. There is no shortage of dirty roadways in our area, and effective solutions will require an “all hands on deck” approach.Others may view picking up litter as cr... (The Mercury News)
