On June 30, 2009, I testified at the State House in front of the Judiciary Committee
on behalf of House Bill 1523. This Bill would have eliminated the statute of limitations for reporting the crime of
rape in the state of MA for anyone under the age of 18. The House side of the Judiciary Committee voted against an extenstion
on the Bill, which would have alleviated the April deadline. Since the House carries the votes (aka power) on Beacon
Hill right now, the Bill was essentially stopped dead in its tracks. Please keep in mind over 30 seats are opening up
in January and it will be up to us to vote for the representatives and senators that will stand up for what is right for the
protection and well-being of our children! Email House Chair, State Rep Eugene O'Flaherty
