Wyman pushes "Three Strikes" plan and crime focus
California Senator Phil Wyman promotes Senate Bill 5 linking to the Three Strikes measure on the June 1994 ballot, aiming to lock up criminals after third felonies. Assemblymen Jones and Costa back AB 971 to double sentences after a second felony and offer life with no parole after a third, citing public safety. Wyman ties his bill to concerns over illegal immigration, prison costs, and budget reform, while proposing school uniform bills and streamlined EIR requirements.
