Think about what might happen in your community if the courts do not receive adequate funding.
How would it affect your criminal court? Would local jails become overcrowded resulting in the early release of inmates?
How would it affect your civil court? Would there be long delays in resolving personal, business, and property disputes?
How would it affect your family and probate courts? Would it take longer to move an abused child to a safe environment?
How would it affect your local economy? Would businesses be reluctant to move to your area?
How would it affect public trust and confidence in our democracy? Would citizens become more cynical about our system of justice?
