I thought FOIA was never supposed to apply to personally identifiable information anyway... so how does that even make sense?

Vernon PD had no problem releasing my personal identifiable information by releasing someone else's pistol permit application.

I'm in the process of obtaining all DESPP employees resumes, etc...so I can assure you that your thoughts are amiss for some reason.

Go check CGS Sec. 1-210 for exemptions if you desire...

Proposed Bill

I guess Representative Dargan didn't get the messages of the numerous people who have been telling him to not do something so stupid:

General Assembly

Proposed Bill No. 9999

January Session, 2013

LCO No. 12345



Referred to Committee on JUDICIARY


Introduced by:


We the People of Connecticut - ALL Districts

AN ACT CONCERNING THE FREEDOM OF THE PEOPLE

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Assembly convened:

That the general statutes be amended to require all members of the General Assembly to be regularly tested for the use of drugs and alcohol. All members shall be required to (1) submit to monthly drug screening to detect the use of illegal substances, (2) submit to a breathalyzer test immediately prior to submitting or voting upon any bill, and (3) submit to drug screening one day prior to the introduction of any bill.

Any member who fails to submit to the required screening or who tests positive for the presence of illegal substances or alcohol in their blood, breath, or urine shall immediately and permanently forfeit their right to hold a seat in the General Assembly and shall be charged with a Class A felony, punishable by 10 to 25 years in prison and no more than a $20,000 fine.



Statement of Purpose

To prevent elected officials from introducing and passing stupid laws that infringe upon the freedoms of the Citizens of Connecticut.




This is a common-sense safety bill. If it saves only one life, it will be worth it. Let's do it for the children.
