Bottle/Can drive for One Fund

Hello, 

My 9-year old daughter, Sydney, has started a bottle and can drive to benefit the victims of the Boston Marathon bombing. All money raised will go to the One Fund. If you have returnable bottles & cans to contribute, please let me know. We'll pick them up or they can be dropped off at our house (will provide address offline). Deadline is 5/25/13. 

Thanks!

MassBudget: Law & Public Safety Programs in the House budget

MassBudget    Information.    Participation.  Massachusetts Budget and Policy Center    Democracy. Law & Public Safety in the House Budget Law & Public Safety programs help us keep our communities safe. They also support our court system, which protects our rights, resolves criminal cases, and helps our economy function by enforcing contracts and settling business disputes. MassBudget's new brief, "Law & Public Safety in the House Budget for FY 2014," examines the House proposal for Law & Public Safety programs, from the court system to state prisons, state police, and others. We find that: Overall funding for Law & Public Safety programs would be reduced slightly (after adjusting for inflation) Two programs that see significant cuts are Indigent Defense, which helps ensure that no one is deprived of the right to an attorney, and Shannon Grants, which support youth violence prevention The House proposal would increase the salaries of judges and clerks for the first time since 2006 MLAC (Mass. Legal Assistance Corporation) would receive additional funding to help low-income people with non-criminal legal problems "Law & Public Safety in the House Budget for FY 2014" is part of a series of MassBudget briefs analyzing key elements in the budget proposals for FY 2014.
