Issaquah City Council gets it right

As reported here, the Issaquah City Council will be voting on a strict ordinance Monday, to prohibit convicted sex offenders from living within 1000 feet of schools or day care facilities. If passed (which is an almost certainty), this will go into effect at the end of this month.

How much do you want to bet the ACLU will sue to have this ordinance struck down, with the likely premise being that it unfairly "targets" a certain "segment" of society, totally disregarding the segment of society that this ordinance is designed to protect, namely children?
