In SUPPORT to SB 7, “An act relating to expanding access to expungement and sealing of criminal history records”
Chairman Sears Jr. and members of the committee,
My name is Anthony Lamorena, and I am a government affairs associate for the R Street Institute, a nonprofit, nonpartisan public policy research organization. Our mission is to engage in policy research and outreach to promote free markets and limited, effective government in many areas, including criminal justice reform, and that is why we are interested in SB 7.
Here at R Street, we have been longtime supporters of initiatives that aim to expand expungement eligibility for individuals who have made mistakes but deserve another chance. Record-clearing measures, such as SB 7, can promote human dignity, preserve public safety, ensure healthy families, and create limited and effective government.
For Four years, Pelosi and Company obsessed about deposing Trump. Next four years, obsessing about rounding up Trump supporters? Read between the lines of acting AG feigned outrage of how America utopia under Obama morphed into a third world style hell hole of fear of Domestic terror, politically correct style. No mention of BLM and Antifa as they have a cause????
The Honorable John P. Carlin was the Assistant Attorney General for National Security from April 2014 through October 2016.
– Prosecute the Boston Marathon bombing cases.
– Disrupt multiple terrorist plots and national security threats and bring those involved to justice.
– Act of 1996.
Government watchdog groups are calling on congressional committees to release the names of Trump political appointees who have “burrowed” into career civil service positions over concerns they may attempt to “sabotage” the Biden administration.
Former President Donald Trump signed an executive order in October that stripped career civil servants of employment protections and opened the door for political appointees to “burrow” into career positions inside the government. The move came as Trump Cabinet members like Education Secretary Betsy DeVos urged staffers to “be the resistance” to the incoming Democratic administration. President Joe Biden rescinded the order in his first days in office, but it remains unclear how many such appointees may have burrowed into career positions inside their departments.
Tuesdayâs Killeen Council meeting, which should have had a relatively full agenda, in fact lasted only 20 minutes, with over a third of originally scheduled items pulled from discussion.
As the 5 p.m. meeting got underway, Mayor Pro Tem Shirley Fleming made a motion to pull all discussion items â nine in total â plus the public hearing from the agenda.
The council unanimously agreed to Flemingâs motion.
This left only the consent agenda items, which were then approved unanimously. A request for a future agenda item, regarding the mayor usurping his authority, was also not discussed.
Mayor Jose Segarra said the items were pulled because 72 hours notice is required between when an item is discussed and when it was voted on.
