Current Events Quiz 1.1

1. What is the proposed police budget for 2015-16 before the city council this week? Page A1 "Council not sold on..."
$394 million

2. WHY is the Travis county jail working with a training school to help inmates remove their tattoos? Page B1 "Travis jail partners with...."
They're working together, so when the inmates are released they can have a new start. The tattoos are reminders of bad memories.

6. In this issue, my opinion is that the county clerk needs to follow the law because that's what the law is there for. Yes, I'm in total support of following your religion, but you follow it with your life and only yours. You can't enforce it on others, and you can't deny people their rights. I think if she continues to refuse, the supreme court should definitely do something about it. Whether its taking her job from her or something else. Same sex marriage is legal now and people cannot refuse things that are legal now. Yes, we do have freedom of religion, but we also have laws that are required to be followed.
