With A Little Help To My Friends
Despite objections from Department of Juvenile Justice staff and fellow senators, Dirty Hari preserved a $9.4 million no-bid contract to Evidence Based Associates (EBA) which manages a probation program to divert at-risk youth from costly prison beds into community programs.
