Lincoln Senator Bill Avery is arguing against claims that felons cannot afford to pay the 30 dollar fee in his bill that requires every inmate to pay to have their DNA taken. Some argued that it’s many felons are broke and their families are too poor to pick up the cost. Avery checked with the Department of Corrections.
