More Kids in Poor Neighborhoods
A new “Kids Count” report from the Annie E. Casey Foundation shows that the number of children living in high poverty communities has increased by 25% over the last ten years.
Public News Service reports that the study shows that even if a family is not officially “in poverty” according to federal standards, it still harms children when a lot of other people in the neighborhood are.
Casey Foundation associate director of policy reform Laura Speer says that living in a poverty area limits the opportunities families have to get a better job and make sure their children are healthy and cared for.

Budget Plan Would Drop Prison Study
A budget proposal by Republican legislators would do away with the requirement that the Department of Corrections conduct a cost and quality comparison of publicly and privately operated state prisons.
The requirement was a state law but ignored until about a year ago. Corrections Director Charles Ryan ordered a study, and the first and only one was released in December.
But KGUN 9 in Tucson reports that the requirement would be scrapped under the Republican budget proposal.
Democrats say dropping the requirement would be fiscally irresponsible. Senate Majority Leader Andy Biggs says there’s no indication that the requirement has provided any useful and reliable information.
It was only about a week ago that the American Friends Service Committee Arizona Chapter released a detailed report showing a significant difference in the cost and quality of private and state-run prisons.

'Bath Salts' Synthetic Drugs Now Illegal
Last week Governor Brewer signed a bill that criminalizes the sale, possession and use of synthetic chemicals known as “Bath Salts.” Until now the “Bath salts” have been sold under various brand names at many local stores.
Gila County Attorney Daisy Flores says creative manufacturers develop alternative components to substances that are not yet illegal and the current system is slow to respond. She says the state is now working to assure that new dangerous synthetic drugs can be addressed as soon as they hit the market.
The effects of “Bath Salts” are similar to amphetamines like ecstacy and cocaine. The new law permanently removes these drugs from retail outlets in Arizona and criminalizes possession and use. An emergency clause allows law enforcement to take immediate steps agianst these substances, even if they are marked “not for human consumption.”
