Labrador leads sentencing reform

Rep. Raúl Labrador today joined House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., and Ranking Member John Conyers, D-Mich., in introducing the Sentencing Reform Act of 2015, one of several criminal justice reform initiatives backed by the Idaho Republican. Labrador is the lead Republican co-sponsor of the bill, which is companion legislation to sentencing provisions in a bill introduced last week by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, and Ranking Member Patrick Leahy, D-Vt. “After five years of working for common-sense reforms, I’m gratified to see our efforts bear fruit as support builds for historic change,” Labrador said after a news conference with Goodlatte, Conyers and other sponsors. “Our bill provides tough punishment for the most serious offenders, while reducing sentences for those worthy of a second chance. These reforms promise a more just society and I am proud join the effort”/ Dan Popkey , Office of Raul Labrador. More here.

Question: Now this is something coming from Congressman Labrador’s office that makes sense. Right?
