Re the boot camps in Florida--Mitch Needelman writes:
"Done! As of 9am today, March 24, 2006, Military Style Juvenile Boot Camps have been abolished in the Florida House of Representatives. $10.5 million has ben transferred to other programs such as educational services, counseling, family therapy and rehabilitation services for children."

The Florida Children's Campaign says thank yous to Needelman are in order, but the work of one committee doesn't make it a "done deal" yet!
