If Cole's bill passes, the loss of both state and federal sources of asset forfeiture funds could put a significant dent in local law enforcement budgets.

Okay.

Maybe it's time we seriously revisit our approach to our criminal code.

That would make things easier on all three branches of our government and enable us to reduce ALL of their budgets.
