I want to know why in Monday’s article, “City’s Sex Offender Population at 50,” that the 50 count doesn’t represent the additional figure of non-registered sex offenders that is masked in the homeless and housed population? I want to know why the city council and mayor refuse to address and apologize for the school flyer that encourages our kids to walk up to complete strangers and engage in friendly conversations. With all of the kidnappings/murders of kids, it would seem to me that our mayor and the city council would take a stand with that damn school flyer.
