This Just In From Senator Susan Collins' Office

Hi.

I just wanted to set the record straight about a piece that currently appears on your site.

Senator Collins did not and would not call the police. Without Sen. Collins’ knowledge and against her longtime policy, a staff person informed Capitol Police yesterday that we expected a large group of people to visit the office today. They believed that was standard security protocol. The intent was never to discourage the visit, nor were Capitol police ever asked to intervene. In fact, the group had a very insightful discussion with Senator Collins' Staff Director on the Senate Homeland Security Committee about the 9/11 health bill.

The reporter who wrote the original story has updated it reflecting these facts:

Happy to help answer any questions.

Thanks!
