Watchdogs Getting Bitten

State Senator Dave Aronberg is sponsoring legislation that would take away an agency heads power to fire an inspector general and give the authority to the governor and state cabinet. “I’m trying to give an added level of independence to the inspector general, to say the agency head can’t fire the inspector general, it’s up to the Governor and the Cabinet and there has to be good cause,” said Aronberg. The legislation would also lengthen the window of time an inspector’s employment status hangs in the balance.

A Law for the Sex Offenders Under a Miami Bridge

"The safety of Floridians has suffered as local politicians have tried to one-up each other with policies that have resulted in colonies of homeless sex offenders left to roam our streets," says state senator Dave Aronberg, a Democrat running for state attorney general. The excessive rules, he adds, "have the effect of driving offenders underground and off law enforcement's radar." Aronberg is co-sponsoring a new bill that would establish uniform statewide residency rules fixed at 1,750 feet — studies show that in many cities, over 50% of available housing is within 2,500 feet of schools — and include the sweeping no-loitering zones.
