Tina said one o f the
biggest differences for her was
how responsible A m erican
kid s are and how they are
allow ed to drive. She said she
knew that you could drive in
A m erica at 16, but she didn’t
realize how m uch kids really
did. In the C zech R epublic
you can’t get a license until you
are 18.

the state legislature and lobby on behalf o f seniors.
Since 1994, the State Attorney G eneral’s Task Force
on Elder Abuse has brought together law enforcement, social
services, victims, senior advocates and other interested parties
to discus prevention strategies and how each can assist law
enforcement agencies to protect and control fraudulence against
seniors and others. Hardy M eyers, present Attorney General,
continues this em phasis on the well being o f seniors and
disabled. The task force meets quarterly and provides training
and resources to businesses, social service groups and others
who want to understand and protect those who are vulnerable
to various kinds o f exploitation.
The target date for the continuing conversation on legal
aid and protection has been set for Jan. 20,2004. Stay tuned
