This situation and others like it were the topic of our membership meeting last evening. Many recommendations were made as to the situation and even an offer directly to assist this individual. How ever as was recommended by our member facilitator . We MUST have a campaign that will address this issue across the board. This issue has been regulated and talked about since 2006 and nothing has been done to change it for registered citizens. Changing the mind set of the public as to this mindset is imperative ( educated everywhere). Putting it out there for all to see an understand what is going on must continue in force( share the stories of the harm and homelessness). While we may be able to help this one through our friendly community to provide aide . We must be concerned for the ALL as well as the ONE . Join in in the FAC committee campaign and help seek out with strategies for change.

These are all very valid points, but this gentleman doesn’t have the time to wait for lengthy litigation. He needs medical care now.

No Home Rule is a right of chartered cities and counties unless the issue is preempted to state control in law. As I can see this case was an “as applied to the defendant” and is only unconstitutional as it applies to him concerning that county ordinance. I believe that anyone that would qualify to contest ordinances based on an as applied to rule could possible win a case. I believe there are other such presidencies that may have been won in other counties as it applies to the particular individual who sued . That would be at their own expense and possibly cost prohibited for many others with out funds for representation who could qualify for relief. It is also my thoughts that the FAC EPF cases will provide relief for many in those situations should they prevail. Which is a very important issue to continue to financially support thru FAC donations.

I thought abuse of home rule was DEFEATED in Nassau County below. Am surprised this victory has not been replicated elsewhere. Do we know why? Just lack of funds?

Because rehab centers will not take him because of the Residency Restrictions. That is the problem.

In my humble opinion finding a sponsor to fight against this HomeRule, Advocating an exemption Back to the state for any regulatory process involving the registrant population, this could help prevent so much of the utter turmoil caused by all these rules. I could preach on and on as to the negative issues wrapped around all these ordinances the damage they do and the loss of money and the disenfranchisement of the registrants and the families . But most of us live that don’t we.

It will take many voices willing to step up and speak up let the committee’s know you care and your in, whether its this kind of idea or others in what ever way you can contribute.
