Safe to Tell Act Promotes Creation of School Threat Reporting Programs

Washington, DC— Today, Representative Jim Himes (CT-04), along with Representatives Mario Diaz-Balart (FL-25) and Anthony Gonzalez (OH-16), introduced the Safe to Tell Act.  The bill creates a grant program for states to develop systems, such as telephone hotlines, mobile applications, or websites that allow people to anonymously report potential threats to schools. “Too often, in the wake of a school shooting, we look back at the behavior of the killer and see that there were warning signs that went unreported,” said Himes.  “People notice things that don’t seem quite right, or that put them on edge, but don’t know how or where to report it.  The Safe to Tell Act creates ways for people to share their concerns of potential…

Assisted Suicide Defeated

Family Institute of Connecticut is pleased to inform our members that the assisted suicide bill has "died in Committee" for the fifth time since 2013. Assisted Suicide was on the Public Health Committee's agenda last Friday, March 29th, but was "held" for lack of votes.  Then it was put back on the agenda for Monday, April 1st, and again "held" for lack of votes! It was at this point that Rep. Jonathan Steinberg, the Committee Chairman, declared defeat, an announcement covered by the press. Nevertheless, the bill was not officially dead until Wednesday, April 3rd, at 5 pm, the Committee's deadline. In an abundance of caution, FIC deliberately waited until now to bring you news of this victory. Rep. Steinberg and "Compassion and Choices," the national pro-assisted suicide group,…
