Hmm… no mention in the article about the several people who spoke up at the meeting against the ordinance, including several from California RSOL as well as one resident who presented information to the Council about a similar ordinance Anaheim had supposedly enacted some time in the past. Allegedly that ordinance prohibited those convicted of dealing drugs from entering parks. It was temporarily blocked by a judge and the Council ended up repealing it rather than lose in court on constitutional grounds. So now it’s deja vu all over again. Is there something in the Orange County water???
