It's a decision that is bound to anger some residents of a New Hampshire city. Manchester formed a task force to help deal with the problems of registered sex offenders
That panel says the city should not ban offenders from living near schools and daycare centers
One task force member, a Manchester police sergeant, argues that offenders who can't find an affordable place to live because of residency restrictions may not register with the city at all, making it hard for the cops to track them
The Union Leader reports the task force favors less dramatic measures like publicizing the state's online sex offender registry and setting up a committee to monitor the way the city deals with offenders
They also fear repeated legal challenges on residency restrictions
