REP.
STEEL RESPONDS TO ASA HUTCHINSON’S CRIMINAL JUSTICE PLAN
LITTLE
ROCK – “For years, I have said that
increasing funding and availability of drug courts can be a huge step in
curbing Arkansas’s crime problem,” Steel said.
“Failure to invest in drug courts will lead to failure in our state’s
probation and parole programs, and we are beginning to see some of that
materialize now.” Rep. Nate Steel, a
former prosecutor and current member of the House Judiciary Committee, has
worked hard to address these problems. Criminal justice and law enforcement are
the focus of his campaign, and they will be the focus of his work as our state’s
next Attorney General.
“I
voted against Act 570 in the 88th General Assembly due to the lack
of funds for drug courts and the weakened sentences for drug dealers and other
habitual criminals. In the last
legislative session, I worked closely with Sen. David Sanders (R-Little Rock)
and others to strengthen probation and parole requirements. That’s the
bipartisan experience we need as Attorney General,” Steel said.
Steel
is currently serving his third term in Arkansas House of Representatives. From Nashville, he represents Howard, Pike, parts
of Clark and Hempstead counties.
