California's Prop. 36 Validated Again

California's Prop. 36 was again shown to be effective, this time in a UCLA study that compared the spending on the program to savings yielded. The study found that for every dollar invested, there was a savings of $2.50 and that in all, the program saved the government $273.3 million. For each participant who actually finished the program, a one dollar investment yielded a four dollar savings. We reported earlier on a DPA report that also found the proposition an effective measure.
