Right on Target With Piece on 'Who Fired Tony Fabelo?'

RECEIVED Tue., May 4, 2004

Mr. Lomax,
   I think you are absolutely right on target with this one ["Who Fired Tony Fabelo?," News, April 30]. As with many things in public and private industry, if the power brokers don't like the figures, they traditionally change the messenger. That's one lesson the next messenger learns. Come up with the figures that your boss wants, or we will find another messenger. One of these days, we will have decision-makers for the criminal justice system who will understand that you get what you pay for. A truly effective criminal justice system cannot be run on minimum wage dollars and still hope to keep a revolving door system from occurring. People have to learn how to stay out of prison before they can actually do it.
