i was struck recently by the story in "the billings gazette" of maria martin. maria was a victim of partner abuse. in the year 2005 the man she was dating went into a jealous rage and held her hostage in her own home with a knife to her throat. he also threatened to kill her three daughters. charges were filed, this man is now serving a 61-year prison term. maria went on, she went on to earn her master's degree in rehabilitation and mental health counseling. she now helps others who find themselves in a situation she was in a few short years ago. maria told the reporter that programs created under the violence against women act provided her with the resources and support to overcome her situation. the act helped her find the courage she needed to make sure this painful experience did not have to be lived again, counseling and shelter for abused women and law enforcement counseling so law enforcement can be more sensitive to women who are victims of domestic violence. the bipartisan reauthorization renews grants programs critical to montana including those that
