Santa Rosa P-D and Prop 83

I was reading this article in the Santa Rosa Press- Democrat on Prop 83- the ballot initiative dealing which supposedly strengthens protections against sex offenders.

Reading the article, which seemed as if it was meant to be a look at both sides of the issue, I was getting the impression that many in Sonoma County would be tempted to vote for Prop 83 after reading it, since sex offenders couldn't live in many cities in Sonoma County.

I was therefore surprised to see, in the very same issue of the paper, the Press- Democrat editorial staff come out opposed to Prop 83. Maybe there is some hope for some clear thinking on this issue come election day.
