Vote yes on Measures 20-38, 20-39
On July 5, 2000, the Lane County Domestic Violence Council voted to support Measure 20-38, the Work Camps, Jails and Services Levy, and Measure 20-39, the Jail Improvements Bond.
The Council urges voters to vote yes on these measures because they will help keep victims of domestic violence and their children safe from batterers and stalkers. The measures will do this by:
* Increasing the number of slots at the Forest Work Camp and the jail’s intake center, making more space available for abusers. This will mean that when domestic violence offenders are arrested, they can be held longer in the jail.
* Funding services for juveniles, many of whom grew up in violent homes. Studies show that without intervention, some of these youth will become batterers or victims themselves.
* Maintaining funding of existing public services, so that resources already in place will not have to be cut.
Please vote yes on Measures 20-38 and 20-39.
