Secretary of State Paul Pate will be in Guthrie Center next week to promote a program which aims to provide support to victims of domestic assault. The “Safe at Home” program has already been adopted in 33 states and allows victims of domestic assault to relocate without their abusers finding them. Pate is working with the state legislature to pass a similar address confidentiality program in Iowa. Pate is making local visits to work with people like Guthrie County Auditor Jerri Christman, who will be key in implementing the program if it becomes reality. Pate will be in the Guthrie County Courthouse public meeting room at 2:15 p.m. on Monday, March 30th for the introductory discussion.
