There was a big uproar and he apologized. I think the apology was forced and had more to do with his possible termination (he was indefinitely suspended) than

So Suffolk County was set to close down the 2 trailers that were sitting out in eastern Long Island and having the homeless sex offenders moved to a facility in Farmingdale; but that's been scrapped when officials folded like origami from the community backlash.Instead, the sex offenders will be given vouchers that would enable them to seek their own housing.

My last post received a somewhat defensive comment from the peeps at antihamptons.com, which slightly disappoints me.

So I'm reading in the local papers about a proposed amendment to the Child Protection Act by the Town of Brookhaven and I find it amusing. As it stands, the CPA prohibits Level 2 and Level 3 sex offenders from living within a quarter mile of schools, parks, and playgrounds. The proposed amendment would add day care centers (fine), school bus stops, video arcades, amusement parks, ice cream stores
