DFL SENATOR AGAINST BEING TOUGH ON SEX OFFENDERS
Governor Pawlenty launched a new statewide effort to crack down on non-compliant sex offenders and a DFL State Senator complains it may be too tough.
"Sen. Linda Berglin, DFL-Minneapolis, a member of the Crime Prevention and Public Safety Committee, said posting 17,000 offenders seems excessive given that most of them were classified by state authorities as posing low or medium risk for committing more sex crimes.
And she questioned the effectiveness of posting identities of roughly 1,400 people with unverified addresses.
'If we don't know where they are, we aren't going to alert the public to their whereabouts,' Berglin said." Source: Star Tribune, February 22, 2006
BTW: Berglin has endorsed Mike Hatch's campaign for governor.
