House OKs library filter bill
Nancy Cook Laurer writes, “Libraries in Leon and other counties that don’t have pornography filters would be required to install them under a bill that passed the House on Wednesday”…”I think we’re in the right place. We’ve taken care of the constitutional issues,” [Bill sponsor Bill] Baxley said. “And meanwhile, the technology to do this has only improved. It’s gotten better and cheaper.”…”The Department of State estimates it will cost $250,000 to install the filters. But Baxley says some vendors will work out deals with individual libraries where the first three years would be free.”
