The chairmen of the Judiciary Committee each received e-mails from a New Britain resident March 10 that made reference to the lawmakers' residences. The e-mails also insinuated retaliation for Rep. Mike Lawlor and Sen. Andrew McDonald's position on Senate Bill 1098, a bill that would have limited the powers of clergy in the Catholic Church.
Discussion on the bill has been tabled.
Capitol Police were notified of the e-mail and investigated the incident. As a result, Timothy Kane, 26, of New Britain, was arrested by warrant without incident and was charged with second-degree harassment. He posted a $500 bond and is due to appear in Hartford Superior Court March 27 for arraignment.
So much for the Catholic Church trying to make its point peacefully and without incident.

You can't link one person's actions to the Catholic Church as a whole.
This is true, and I am not. I'm sorry if I implied that. My point is that it's unfortunate that such a high-profile issue had to involve police involvement.
