Should the state shorten the amount of time a criminal's record is publicly available from its current 15 years for a felony and 10 years for a misdemeanor?

| No. The CORI system is there for a reason ... as a protection from people with a violent or criminal past. Don't weaken it. |  | 48.89% | 66 |
| Yes. The CORI system is unfair to reformed criminals who can't find work or housing. They deserve a chance at a second chance. Gov. Patrick's plan for 10 years and 5 years is a good one. | | 22.96% | 31 |
| Maybe they can lessen the amount of time misdemeanors are available. But felonies, especially violent crimes like robbery or felony assault, should remain available for the full 15 years. | | 28.15% | 38 |
