The
Penn State scandal is a troubling example of how critical it is for people to
report sexual child abuse if they witness it or hear it from the victim.
Otherwise many more lives can be damaged as additional victims are preyed upon
by the pedophile.
Law requires adults to report abuse or face criminal
charges.

STATEMENT FROM SEN. NANCY
JACOBS, MINORITY LEADER
Republican Harford/Cecil
10/20/2011
I have just alerted
fellow Republican Senators
that I will not be seeking
reelection as Minority
Leader. While I have enjoyed
serving in that capacity, I
don’t believe I can give
that office all the
attention it deserves in the
coming months and during the
2012 legislative session.
Now that we know the
details of the new
Congressional District Map
and will soon know how the
legislative lines are drawn,
I am taking time to ponder
my options. Some people have
suggested I should consider
running for Governor. Others
say I should think about a
Congressional run or the
race for Harford County
Executive.
At this point I may run
for any one of those posts,
or none of the above. Much
of that depends on how my
Senate District changes and
whether I retain Cecil
County, which has been very
supportive of me. Whatever I
chose, it is likely I will
be spending a lot of time
meeting new voters. That’s
why I felt it was best to
step aside and not run for
the Leadership Post next in
the next GOP leadership
election.
Maryland voters are focused on the presidential
race and on ballot Question No. 2, the
constitutional amendment legalizing slots. No
one is focused on ballot Question No. 1, the
constitutional amendment removing some long held
safeguards from our elections process.

General Assembly Heads Toward Manic Monday
Former felons would be allowed to register to
vote under bills that moved closer to final
passage in the House and the Senate.
Under current Maryland law, people convicted of
two or more felonies must wait three years after
their sentences are completed before they can
vote. Persons with two violent felony
convictions cannot vote. The bills would repeal
those restrictions.
"It provides another incentive for an
ex-offender to do the right thing," said Sen.
Roy P. Dyson (D-St. Mary's).
Two Republicans -- Sen. Alex X. Mooney
(Frederick) and Sen. Nancy Jacobs (Harford)
-- tried to amend the bill in the Senate to
prohibit those who are found guilty of two
murders or sexual abuse against minors from
being able to vote. Both amendments failed.
