    Controversial anti-loitering bill moves on - BY JAMES T. MADORE, Newsday.com
    'It is a bill that's divisive. It targets Latinos. It gives license to hate Latinos,' said Valenzuela.

    Labor leaders from the carpenters and sheet metal workers unions expressed concerns that the anti-loitering bill could be used to thwart protests by striking workers.

    Legis. Kate Browning (WFP-Shirley) added that the bill could stop people from demonstrating against abortion or sex offenders living in the community. 'I won't take that right away from them,' she said."
