Waiting for Senate vote

Tue., April 12, 2011

We were well represented by the House with a unanimous vote on House Bill 1657 with 98 to 0, which would eliminate the statute of limitations on child rape. However, the Senate has not even given this important bill a hearing.

Join with me to urge Senate Majority Leader Lisa Brown to place this bill on the floor for an up or down vote! She needs to stand by her claim of protecting those most vulnerable within our state.
