Orange to keep its sex-offender ordinance

6-17-2014 California:

City Attorney Wanye Winthers proposed repealing most of the ordinance at a City Council meeting, but no one seconded Mayor Tita Smith’s motion to approve the changes.

City Attorney Wanye Winthers proposed repealing most of, but not all of, the city’s sex-offender ordinance at the last City Council meeting. But the proposal died after no one seconded Mayor Tita Smith’s motion to approve the changes.

“I guess I have a really hard time just gutting it,” said Councilman ..Sub/Source.. by REBECCA KHEEL / STAFF WRITER
