Troy Jackson on Homeland Security

 

 


Moral obligation to adequately fund state veterans' homes

Jackson told his colleagues that the Legislature made a commitment when it created the Maine Veterans' Homes more than 40 years ago and failure to provide annual funding would be breaking that commitment. "I intend to see that that commitment is upheld and I am hoping that all of you feel the same," Jackson said. "One-time payouts will not work. Our veterans need annual funding that adequately covers the costs of their care. We have a moral obligation to ensure that they receive it."

Require a warrant to get location info from cell phones

LD415: An Act To Require a Warrant To Obtain the Location Information of a Cell Phone or Other Electronic Device

Veto message:This bill simply goes too far. To obtain location data on a cell phone currently, police obtain a court order. This allows them to access historic--not real-time--location data. Many crimes would not have been solved if this law had been in place.

Summary by the ACLU: "We are thrilled that the legislature recognized the importance of protecting Mainers' privacy and stepped up to make sure this bill became law," said the Executive Director of the ACLU of Maine. "As technologies advance, it's important that the law keeps up. With these warrant requirements in place, privacy protections in Maine are among the strongest in the nation."

Legislative outcome:Vetoed by Gov. LePage 7/8/13; Override Passed House 125-17-9, Roll Call #442 on 7/9; Passed Senate 22-11-2, Roll Call #369 on 7/9; Troy Jackson voted YES.
