Came across the link to the Broward County Task Force Report regarding residency restrictions over at The Grimm Truth. (Lots to digest. Check out the report here.)
I found the city ordinance pile-on interesting.
(...)
In Broward County, there are 24 city ordinances (out of 31 cities), all but three of which designate buffer zones of 2,500 feet. All prohibit living near schools, parks, playgrounds, daycare centers, bus stops, and other places where children congregate. Some include libraries, skating rinks, churches or sports fields. See page 8 for a listing of city ordinances.
I've included the list of those cities and yes Froggers, more than three cities designating buffer zones in adherence with state law of 1000 feet are indeed highlighted.
This is either an error on the part of the Task Force OR (if you know anything about Broward County)....
...is Sea Ranch Lakes really a city?
So, which cities politically stepped (leaped) upon the backs of Florida citizens forced to register as sex offenders?
See for yourself.
