Analysis of the FY 2013 Maryland Executive Budget, 2012
The fiscal 2013 allowance for the Division of Parole and Probation (DPP) is reduced by approximately $370,000 when compared to the fiscal 2012 working appropriation. Significant changes within the agency include a net savings of $71,000 for contractual temporary office assistance, offset by 19.9 contractual full-time equivalents (FTE). This reflects a departmental policy shift to utilize more contractual employees versus agency temps. Overall, personnel expenses for regular positions increase by a net $105,000.
Additionally, the agency allowance reflects a net savings of $216,000 due to the closure of the department-run urinalysis testing laboratory, offset by an increase in contractual urinalysis testing services.
Publishers Notes: While this may not seem very important to many of you, it should be. I have been stating for years, Wicomico County Parole and Probation is running off a shoe string budget. Many case officers are holding 600 cases at any given time and you cannot manage these criminals with such a load.
You can place a good amount of the blame on Delegate Norm Conway. He refuses to recognize the severity of this matter.

Norm Conway is more like a Nothing Conway.
Sorry folks all the extra funds is being used to track and harass sex offenders as the cost of maintaining and running the list is raising by the day and is at this point getting out of control. So millions is being swiped from other violent criminal programs and allowing killers / spousal abusers / gun bangers / violent drug dealers to go run wild in the streets. But the good part is at least we now know where the CONVICTED sex offenders sleep at night. ??
There are other areas to trim, like non violent crimes. I don't have kids but if I did I damn sure would want to know if a sex offender moved in next to me or the next few blocks perimeter! All the money being spent on shop lifters, a whole movement, let Walmart and other big box store hire and pay for their own theft prevention! If they paid enough to acquire employees that care they may do better at their jobs or they would attract a better work force pool to choose from.
If people only knew what was really going on, they would be shocked beyond belief.

Why don't you two toilet paper eaters go run for an office and do something good for the area? Whining is not good for anything.
Strong people lift people up, not put them down.
