While in Washington, D.C., for the National Governors Association Winter Meeting, Nevada Governor Jim Gibbons announced details of his proposed legislation to improve the tracking and registration of sex offenders in Nevada. The legislation includes:

Global Positioning System (GPS) monitoring of tier 3 sex offenders, or those most likely to re-offend, on parole or probation;

A requirement for convicted sex offenders to register before they are released from prison;

And a requirement for out-of-state sex offenders to submit DNA samples when registering as sex offenders in Nevada.

Maybe we should require all our politicians and candidates to wear those GPS ankle bracelets also, so that we might have known where Governor, then U.S. Representative, Gibbons was in that parking garage on the night he allegedly assaulted the cocktail waitress. It certainly would have helped to keep track of all those Clark County Commissioners so we knew where they were when they were bribed or when questions of residency arose without subjecting them to expensive FBI or union funded surveillance.
