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 [1] says thank yous to Needelman are in order, but the work of one committee doesn't make it a "done deal" yet!
