Sex offenders are the worst of the worst. They prey on the weakest of us to commit one of the worst acts humans are capable of executing. They hurt the vulnerable and scar them for the rest of their lives.

Yet, right here in Green Bay, they can find solace.

It’s true. Sex offenders can tell a few lies, and fly right past restrictions on where they can live and wait for their next opportunity to commit a crime.

I know this because my neighborhood is suffering the consequences of such a relaxed procedure. That’s right. No cited stories this time. This is the reality I’m living in right now.

In Green Bay, a convicted sex offender can go before the sex offender board, and tell them all the lies they need to hear. Then they can move right past restrictions that allow them to live closer to parks, schools, and other areas where children try to grow up.

The unfortunate truth is that sex offenders don’t just commit sex crimes. They do other terrible things. In my case, its increased drug activity in my neighborhood and violent disturbances.

You can call Green Bay Police. I did and they were professional and polite. But they can’t sit outside your building waiting on evil to be committed in front of them.

You can call your local elected officials. I did. They asked the police again. But you can also read the preceding sentence again to discover what happened next.

You can call the Wisconsin Department Of Corrections. But you’re screaming into the void. They can’t respond. And they’re in Madison. They don’t care.

You can call your state lawmakers. They can ask the Department Of Corrections again. But once again..read the preceding sentence.

Listen, I’ve worked on and won elections. I’ve defeated referendums. I’ve crafted pieces of correspondence that have been incorporated into ordinances and legislation.

But a rapist in Green Bay circumvents my expertise and the current system, allowing them to do and deals drugs in my area, and to do so without restrictions.

I’ve called for help, everyone acknowledges what is occurring, yet no one can act. The rules don’t allow them to.

That’s the most evidence of a broken ordinance you can imagine.
