Dr. Eastman will eliminate the costly programs that have proven to be ineffective and thereby free up monies for education. One example is the state prison system. The root causes of crime have already been identified by numerous commissions and other social /academic studies. Yet, most of the state budget is spent incarcerating criminals. As part of an incoming administration that must evaluate each and every program, my background in the Criminal justice system (see
above) gives me unique qualifications, which I would use to make recommendations to the governor in that area.
