		Bill Pierce was committed to protecting and promoting the welfare of children, and to facilitating and improving adoption in law and in the lives of the families of adopted children.

		Lastly, Pierce said the Shakers, after 30 years of persecution, were entitled to a statute of limitations and that the proposed law was nothing short of a violation of the state Constitution, which guaranteed religious freedom.

		It was in his billing records, not in his payroll records, where Sara Cazel found the information on which the DOL based its claims.
