    No way. Let them earn minimum wage working a prison job like busting boulders on the rock pile or making license plates & force them to pay restitution to their victims and stay in jail till it's all paid. Don't…

    It's a broad question that is not specific and has no single, definitive answer. Criminality falls into several different categories. There are infractions that involve minor offenses like traffic violations, or misdemeanors that are more serious, usually punishable by fines,…

    Hotels?Why would anyone need to visit Martinez and stay in a motel?Will it be a tourist destination?I know from living in Anaheim that when you try to make a city into a tourist attraction,you ruin it.

  • Jeff (the other one)

    Depends on the level of funding, the type of funding (trade skill training like welding while in prison makes more sense than taxpayer funded basketball), what the crime was, and what the second chance is. I would be less likely…

  • CountryGal

    I don't like the idea of this..... One of the reasons why Martinez is so great is because it's not loaded with a ton of people and it's not busy with a mall. It's very calm and quiet, like it…

    biting off more than you can chew.... you need the want before you need the product...not the other way around. Think Jack London Square....https://www.reddit.com/r/oakland/comments/97au6p/what_happened_with_jack_london_square/

    .... "need to find money for extensive infrastructure...... " so it's not funded... are they expecting Mtz residents to foot the bill? Planning is fine - but if there's no fuding why incur the big bucks on consultants and plans?…

  • Angry American

    Depends on the crime..... If it is something stupid "without malice" then diversion (picking up trash or working in a soup kitchen) otherwise hotel with bars. stupid games get stupid prizes. Anything else deprives others of their rights so you…

  • domo

    ... Republic needs to fund an alternative to their employees striking without passing on the expense to residents - it's a health & safety issue

  • domo

    ... any elected politico that promotes taxpayer funded second chance rewards sees the wrong side of my votes

  • Angry American

    great point! why the blur?

  • Captain Bebops

    The bill to fix the railroad crossing would probably dwarf the project bill. You can't go under the tracks because it could be flooded at times. An overpass would work but where would it be and cost $$$$$$$$.

  • bddp

    Wonder why 🤔

  • bddp

    Putting them in line for an interview is one thing but no money should be given to somebody making criminal choices.

  • bddp

    No it's not however death threats and inciting violence are.

  • CLAYCORD.com

    LOL - waterfront will win.

    The race is on. Martinez WaterFront versus Concord Navel Weapons Station!
