	Capitol Police Make Arrest in Threat against Lawmakers WTIC March 19, 2009 http://www.wtic.com/Capitol-Police-Make-Arrest-in-Threat-Against-Lawma/4048077 Capitol police have arrested a 26-year-old New Britain man, accusing him of sending a threatening e-mail to two state lawmakers. Timothy Kane has been charged with harassment. He was released Wednesday on $500 bond. The charge stems from an e-mail sent to State Sen. Andrew McDonald, D-Stamford, and State Rep. Michael Lawlor, D-East Haven, concerning a bill on Catholic parish finances. The two lawmakers had proposed giving parishioners more control over local parish finances. Police say the two lawmakers received thousands of mostly angry e-mails from across the country, as well as threats on their lives. The e-mail from Kane allegedly contained what police say are ``alarming and derogatory statements.'' The bill that sparked a torrent of criticism has been withdrawn.
