Town hall to discuss homelessness, effects of Prop. 36 on Long Beach set for Friday
Proposition 36 could increase punishment for certain theft and drug crimes that were reduced to a misdemeanor under Proposition 47.
With less than two months to go before the Nov. 5 election Long Beach officials are hosting a town hall Friday morning to discuss a proposition on the California ballot that could peel back elements of Proposition 47, which reduced some felonies to misdemeanors.
Long Beach City Prosecutor Doug Haubert and Long Beach City Councilmember Mary Zendejas, who represents Downtown, will co-host the event.
