On the issue of managing the courts and protecting our citizens, my attorneys and support staff do a good job. We instituted the first multi-county case management sytem in the state over ten years ago. Our system was used to develop the law that mandates case management throughout the state.
We consistently process cases through the court faster than the state average. When Mr. David was running against me, statistics provided by the state showed that we were processing cases 70 days faster than they were in the district where Mr. David has worked for years. (At $30 a day that would be a savings of $2100 for anyone waiting in jail.) And despite that quicker turn around, sentences for felons was 20% higher over here in Brunswick. The latest figures show that the prison time difference has risen since then.
