Seems funny how Hogan is doing all this great stuff in an election year, and yet we have heard little to nothing from him during the time between when he was last elected to now.
Seems strange that action is only taken when his cushy job is in jeopardy. I guess he decided to get off his butt and do some work for a change!

Typical politician, passing taxpayer money out to get elected

How about just combating violence? Instead of a thousand programs aimed at very narrow points why not address the issue as a whole?

The actions of the individuals are the problem regardless of who the victim is.
