Prostitution cases will not be prosecuted. Loud party cases will not end up in court. And the kids and adults who tag our walls – and everywhere else – will not face the ire of the prosecutor.
That’s another scenario being painted as a result of Tucson budget cuts.
“We’re going to funnel more of these cases into diversion so they won’t result in convictions,” says Tucson City Attorney Mike Rankin.
The city attorney’s office is facing $300,000 to $500,000 more in budget cuts this year so some hard choices had to be made.

Rankin says it’s not like the offenders are receiving a “get out of jail free” pass. In the prostitution cases, there will be consequences even if there are no convictions.

Rankin estimates his office prosecutes 200 prostitution cases and 150 graffiti cases every year.
