PA: Residents rally to halt proposed transitional home for sex offenders
A transitional home for sex offenders was proposed in a Huntingdon County community, which led to dozens of residents showing up to a special meeting about it Monday night.
At the meeting, several Jackson Township residents shared their concerns about potential transitional housing in the community. However, township and nonprofit leaders reassured the public that this will not be happening. “Right now there’s no licensing and no restrictions in place that would put any kind of rules that [transitional housing] would have to follow,” shared resident Emily Frankhouser.
Even with the transitional home set to not move forward in the community, residents and township leaders have planned to create an ordinance in the new year that will add more regulations if a similar situation comes up again. “An ordinance would at least put something in place to restrict them and put some guidance the house would have to follow if it came here,” said Frankhouser.

The public has more to fear from Registered Gun Owners than any other registered group.
well, we’re just living in a ‘black mirror’ episode at this point.
Instead of needing to create special housing that no one wants in their neighborhood, how about we let people live in their home! If they are safe enough to be out of jail or prison, they are safe enough to live in their home. Then get rid of the public registry, that does nothing except rile up the public. People convicted of a sex offense rarely commit another crime – almost equal to that of people who committed murder – no one is screaming for a murder registry!!!!

Well if they let people off the registry, the registry employees lose their jobs. No way they ever want us off, they are making millions off of us. (Fact check, I do not know how much but it is for sure millions at least)

Annual Recurring Funding: Florida approved $3 million per year in recurring state funds.
In addition to recurring funds, there are nonrecurring requests (e.g., $2.1 million proposed for FY 2025–26 for workload optimization technology). source: The Florida Senate(flsenate.gov)
Actually I am screaming for more registries. Because if they refuse then then are violating the 14th Amendment and are in clear violation of it. That would bring an end to all registries. I know it’s a backdoor approach to the attack but overloading the system still crashes the system.
