I dont think it cost the state 50 grand a year per person to live in prison...I make less than that a year and my wife and son live very happy lives. And this man was a soldier, he made a mistake and he will sit in prison because of it. Its tragic that this accident happend and I feel sorry for the victims family involved...but life will move on and I seriously doubt you will see any adjusments in your taxes "Heart-O-Texas"...
