City Attorney Ann Davison's office just announced how they'll be reducing the 5,000-case backlog that was a centerpiece of her law-and-order campaign. The most impactful action: Declining to prosecute almost 2,000 cases involving low-level misdemeanors .

People who are claiming that Davidson is doing the same NTK pledged really seem to have selection attention on what NTK said.

"The very least that the city attorney could do is to stop prosecuting people for most misdemeanors," she said."

"Rather than prosecuting and jailing people for committing misdemeanors, Thomas-Kennedy would rather the attorney's office spend more time working to solve the upstream issues from which most of the criminalized behaviors often spring, whether that's poverty and affordability, mental health, or addiction."

Agree or disagree with what Davidson is doing, but to claim that it's the same plan as NTK is just plain dishonest.
