GOOD EVENING, I'M PETER BUSCH.

INSIDE CITY HALL LEADERS ARE DISCUSSING A PLAN THAT'S BROUGHT AN UNUSUAL CONFESSION FROM FORT MYERS RESIDENT JAY CHAMBERLAIN.
10:11 "I am your typical sex offender."
CHAMBERLAIN CALLS HIS CRIME A ONE-TIME MISTAKE.
09:46 "My offense was cruising the internet and stopping at a bad website."
THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF LAW ENFORCEMENT SEX OFFENDER DATABASE SAYS THAT CHAMBERLAIN DOWNLOADED CHILD PORNOGRAPHY IN 2003.
09:50 "A person who has an innocent image of a child naked on a bear skinned rug could suffer the same consequences."
CHAMBERLAIN IS HERE ARGUING THE PROPOSAL OF A NEW CITY ORDINANCE THAT WOULD REQUIRE HIM AND OTHER SEX OFFENDERS TO STAY AT LEAST 300 FEET FROM ANY PLACE WHERE CHILDREN GATHER.
PLACES LIKE SCHOOLS, BUS STOPS, LIBRARIES, AND PARKS.
SU: "To give you an idea of the distance we mapped the 300 foot requirement we used a smartphone application to measure out the distance."
THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE WOULD MIRROR A COUNTY LAW THAT'S BEEN IN EFFECT SINCE 2009.
FORT MYERS POLICE CHIEF DOUG BAKER SUPPORTS THE IDEA.
14:29 "To me it's a no brainer."
GRANDMOTHER VICKIE HOLBROOK AGREES.
21:09 "I want all the help from the community that I can get."
BUT SOME CIVIL RIGHTS GROUPS LIKE THE A-C-L-U SAY THE ORDINANCE WILL DO MORE HARM THAT GOOD.
"It will likely drive him or her off the grid, underground and outside the supervision of law enforcement making children in our community less safe."
AS FOR CHAMBERLAIN.HE SAYS HE WILL BOYCOTT CITY BUSINESSES.
12:28 "Pass this ordinance and I feel I may never spend another dollar in Fort Myers."
A TRADE SOME PEOPLE WOULD BE HAPPY TO MAKE.

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE NBC2 WEATHER STAFF.
IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.
TEMPERATURES SOARING BY MIDWEEK
It was a wet start to our first full week of 2013, but we're now trading the rain in for sunshine and much warmer temperatures.
How warm? We're talking mid 80s!
So let me show you how this will all transpire. We're seeing the skies clear tonight as the frontal boundary that brought us the gloomy weather begins to weaken. You can't rule out some very low clouds through the wee hours of Tuesday, but overall it'll be a clear night. Come sunrise we will definitely see areas of fog as temperatures drop to the lower 60s.
From there forward the sunshine pops out and it's here to stay.
Why? Simple, a big mountain of high pressure is moving over the East Coast. That's going to keep our weather sunny, dry, and very warm from Tuesday through the beginning of next week.
Morning lows will continue to be around 60 degrees, and daytime highs will soar to the mid 80s. Tuesday we will see a high of 83, Wednesday a high of 84, and then Thursday we get all the way up to 85 degrees. I wouldn't be surprised if some areas saw temperatures a little above 85 in the days to come.
If you want cold temperatures… You'll have to go north. There isn't a cool down expected for us until mid January.
Enjoy living in paradise!
