Protect our Quality of Life

Mark will expand the Quality of Life Task Force to take back more neighborhoods. He will enforce the Child Protection Act to protect children from sexual predators by prohibiting sex offenders from living within a quarter mile of a school, park or playground, requiring sex offenders to move quicker if they violate the law and developing a database to track the offenders.
