Gov. Christie Takes On the Bail Bondsmen (will Jerry Brown ever do the same???)


Gov. Christie in New Jersey signed a bill that – if approved by the voters – will make the state’s bail system resemble the federal system.  The bill will reduce the amount of disenfranchised people who are kept in custody awaiting trial.  The bill will create a big profit loss for bail companies, and it will be interesting to see what advertisements are made in the future to spin public opinion into thinking this is unsafe.  To read the full NY times article, go here:  http://www.nytimes.com/2014/08/16/opinion/gov-christie-takes-on-the-bail-bondsmen.html?ref=todayspaper&_r=0
