Mayor, police chiefs urge "no" vote on Prop. 57

Mayor Kevin Faulconer joined police chiefs from around San Diego County in urging voters to vote "no" on Proposition 57.

SAN DIEGO (CBS8)- Mayor Kevin Faulconer joined police chiefs from around San Diego County in urging voters to vote "no" on Proposition 57.

Supporters of Prop. 57, including Gov. Jerry Brown, say it will save taxpayers by reducing overcrowding in state prisons.
