ACTION NEEDED: U.S. marshals arrest 9 convicted sex offenders in ‘Operation Dunder Mifflin’
The story about the U. S. Marshals finding 13 people not living at their registered addresses in Scranton, PA, has been running for several days in Pennsylvania, but I am shocked that the Tampa Bay Times would give up space for something as nonsensical as this story is and miles away from Florida. As always, no new sex crimes were committed. If this is big news down in Florida, then newspapers do not know what real news is anymore.
In Scranton, an individual on the registry cannot live with 2500 feet of any school, child-care facility, open space, community center, public park or recreational facility in the city. Where are these people supposed to live?
FAC is sending a Letter to the Editor of the Tampa Bay Times concerning this absurdity.
There does not appear to be a comment section, but Letters to the Editor (up to 250 words) can be sent to: https://www.tampabay.com/opinion/submit-letter/
It would be good if the Tampa Bay Times could hear from many different people. Even if they do not publish our letters, maybe they will think twice before wasting space on something that is not newsworthy.

Thank you for all the suggestions on how to contact the Tampa Bay Times if you do not want to share all of you contact information.
Unfortunately, if you simply want to email customer service, you must also give your contact information.
I have been unable to find any emails for staff members. If anyone else does, please share them with us.
In order to survive, most papers are banning together under one larger organization, such as USA Today or Gannet. There websites are all clones of one another, giving out very little contact info, such as emails.
The Tampax Bay Times should be doing a story on South FloriDUH corruption instead but I guess it is so commonplace that is not news.
Did I read that right ? They can’t live within 2500 feet of an “open space ” ? I have 2 questions 1.where are the displaced homeless supposed to go if they can’t go to an open space ? And 2. Just what is they’re definition of an “open space”. To me common sense says and open space would mean there are no structures its empty land and if that space is 2500 feet from all the rest of the no go areas then it should be the place they would and should be able to go. But that’s just my thoughts. I was homeless for a year and a half not that I would have any knowledge of the subject.
CNN has been reporting this for several days. They have a wider audience than TBT but not sure how to comment.
Unfortunately their website wants to collect all of your personal contact information just to send them a note.
You can always go to their ‘about us’ or ‘meet the team’ section on the media’s website. There you can sometimes find executive’s and ‘anchors’ email addresses. If all else fails go to their ‘contact us’ where you can submit a statement. Many people need to participate and only a few are willing to write letters.
