If a city restricts sex offenders, where oh where will they go?
Franklin has a very restrictive ordinance in place that limits where sex offenders can live. The ordinance is being challenged in court by a convicted sex offender. The city has filed a suit to try to get him to move.Opponents of these ordinances often use the same old tired argument that such laws will chase sex offenders out of municipalities into other areas where tracking will be more difficult. It’s position that sympathizes with the offender, yet you never hear opponents mention a word about the victims.
Green Bay is one of many municipalities around the state to follow Franklin’s lead by enacting a similar restrictive ordinance.
So, what’s happening with sex offenders in Green Bay? To listen to ordinance critics, you’d swear they’re all heading underground.
Oh, really?
