Greenwich
resident Sam Romeo says there is broad support for the proposed town
ordinance from parents and other child safety advocates. He's hoping to
bring it back before a town meeting in the fall.

Town residents
voted 133-49 Monday to table the proposal indefinitely, after questions
about its constitutionality arose. The ordinance would ban convicted
sex offenders from many public places frequented by children, and give
police authority to detain violators and fine them $100.

A few other Connecticut towns have adopted similar ordinances, which have been questioned by civil liberties groups.
