My questions to the candidates would go something like this: Acknowledging the fact that sex crimes are a problem throughout the country do you agree that it is a bigger problem that ALL sex offenders are grouped together in Florida potentially posing the the same risk factor? Do you see this as watering down the registry list as making it not accurate for what people intended it to be? Would you follow suit as other states have such as California and Missouri who have recently followed the Federal law to have Florida’s S.O.Registry become a tier 3 state which would not only separate potential risk factors but allow attrition to the NEVER ending list?
My own comment is the entire list and system and the way we are treated is totally messed up and unconstitutional. I do believe the tier system is NOT the total solution but a start. The registry as it stands should be abolished…..but my questions above are open ended questions to at least get a feel for where these candidates stand and to see if any of them even have the guts to budge and begin the change that Florida so desperately needs.
Thank you FAC for allowing us to even give input. Thank you for ALL you are doing.
Hello Governor…
Do you foresee a tiered arrangement for sex offenders during your term in office?
1) If he/she supports rehabilitation in prison, not just punishment.
2) If he/she supports evidence based registration laws and requirements.
3) If he/she supports rolling back the three-day residence registration requirement.
4) If he/she supports a review of all state, county, and city laws on registration requirements and championing revocation of such laws which are punitive and or violate Florida’s own constitution on their face.
I have many more, but will allow others to chime in.
Why are we so poorly ranked among the 50 states . We are at the bottom or vert near the bottom in nearly every aspect of life. Somehow we have become the third most populated state in the country! Why?? My opinion is this is a tax shelter and water playground for the wealthy. What are you going to do for people who work for a living. Some working 2 jobs. Get hot !!
How important of an issue is the problem with Lake Okeechobee water runoff being routed to the east and west coast instead of it s natural southern path to support the Everglades?
How would you deal with Big Sugar money that is the cause.
Imminent domain should be invoked to return the land back to what it was created for. The tourist industry relies on the beautiful coastline or used to be.
