Yes, Madam 6/17/10 - STATED - 2ND READING President. I'd like to speak on the matter. First of all, I want to thank the District Attorney's Office and the Mayor's Office for working with this body on the important issue of witness intimidation and protection. Last week we passed into law a code that would make it a crime. As a result of this, there has been movement by State Representative Boyle to do an increase in penalties at the state level. We will be joining and supporting a bill already at the federal level sponsored by Senator Specter, which creates a $30 million fund for national witness intimidation and protection laws. I think that this body sent a message it is continuing to cooperate, and the Mayor has put up a $200,000 fund to that end. We would have passed that bill and it would have taken us several years to accumulate the fines necessary to meet this fund. I want to thank the Mayor and Deputy Mayor Gillison for 6/17/10 - STATED - 2ND READING putting this money up now so that people can be protected now, and these federal and state laws can catch up to our action today. Thank you very much.
Thank you. The Chief Clerk will please read the title of Bill No. 100015.
