Comments

Neal Modi writes:

The question is, are local jurisdictions willing to supplement compensation for public defenders. Enforcement? And last year, did not the Kaine adminstration pass a bill upwards of ~$15 million for extending compensation and raising cap fees on public defenders? Why is there no reference to that?
