By Janny Montgomery C o m m u n i t y Ntws Editor Mayor Ban Peterson has proposed the first city or dinance of his administration. And there is concern among retailers and social activ ists that the measure may violate free speech rights. The proposal calls for limiting children's access to video games in public areas. "Just as parents can control whether their children watch R-nucd movies or violent TV shows, they should also be able to control the kinds of video games their children play," Peterson said through a recent press release. The proposed statute would create three video game categories; ■ strongly violent or sexually ex plicit * M mildly violent or sexually explicit ■ safe for all ages. City-county councilor Rozelle Boyd is scheduled to present the proposal to the full council April 10. If the council gives its OK, busi nesses with more than dure video games would be required to separate violent or sexually explicit games from others Furthermore, all violent or sexually explicit games Owners of arcades would be banned from city-owned. city-operated would have to code property.
