Governor Baker and Lt. Governor Polito Release Statements on Administration’s Dangerousness Legislation
BOSTON – Today, Governor
Charlie Baker and Lt. Governor Karyn Polito released the below statements in
response to the Judiciary Committee’s actions to send the Baker-Polito
Administration’s dangerousness bill to
study:
“The Judiciary Committee’s incomprehensible decision to send our Administration’s dangerousness bill to study is an insult to survivors. Lt. Governor Polito and I have spent the past several months meeting with brave survivors across the Commonwealth who spoke out with the hope of protecting others from facing the same horrors they lived through. The Administration’s bill would have closed loopholes in the criminal justice system, while the Legislature’s decision protects abusers at the expense of survivors.” – Governor Charlie Baker
“Our Administration has filed the dangerousness bill repeatedly so we can better protect survivors of domestic violence and other violent crimes, and it is deeply disappointing that the Judiciary Committee has sent this bill to study. The Committee’s actions ignore the survivors who came forward to share their personal stories and demonstrate how this bill would have made a difference.” – Lt. Governor Karyn Polito

Orange 編譯) 麻州州長查理貝克
(Charlie Baker) 和副州長白莉朵
(Karyn Polito)今 (22)日針對司法委員會把它們的「危險法案
(dangerousness bill)」送往研究,發表了聲明。
麻州州長查理貝克說,司法委員會決定把州政府的危險法案送往研究,讓人無法理解,也是對倖存者的侮辱。”副州長白莉朵和我,過去幾個月來和麻州各地的倖存者晤談,他們勇敢發生是希望能夠保護其他人免於面對他們曾經遭遇的那些恐怖狀況。麻州政府的法案將關閉現有刑事司法系統中的漏洞,麻州議會的決定卻犧牲倖存者的利益來保護施虐加害者。
麻州副州長白莉朵說,我們不斷地遞出「危險法案」以更好的保護家庭暴力案,以及其他暴力犯罪案的倖存者,司法委員會把這法案送往研究,讓人非常失望。委員會的行動忽視了那些站出來,分享個人故事,以呈現這法案將造成不同影響的那些倖存者。
