VIDEO:  Street Side Productions
 
 
Since the beginning of 2008 California's governor has been cutting educational programs and services. Supposedly this is an attempt to close the state budget gap. While state parks are being closed and educational programs cut the state has increased spending on police officers and juvenile correctional facilities. One of the programs that has been forced to close their doors is Street Side Productions. Street Side teaches youth on probation video production skills.

That's a really cool story Cory, I especially like where you took it at the end; makes you wonder how the government can let funding for a program like that go but have millions of dollars in unnecessary spending.
