The Senate has an directly opposite bill which it passed. Should be interesting. But this is the good bill, allowing people with a history of domestic violence to work directly with clients of CSB's is a very bad idea and ignores the safety and protection of people with little voice or power.

So much for caring about the safety of CSB clients. Let's let domestic violence abusers have even more fun, clients can't get a restraining order and aren't listened to when they report abuse if they even do. Great job guys, compassionate bunch eh? Or just prejudiced as all heck?
