A story Wednesday on the Lawrence City Commission’s decision to extend the Lawrence Community Shelter’s conditional use permit reported that Brandy Sutton said “known drug dealers” and convicted sex offenders hang out at the shelter, and that both should be banned.

In an e-mail to the Journal-World, Sutton requested the following clarification: “I said that there are known drug dealers hanging around the shelter and that registered sex offenders and those with outstanding warrants should not be permitted to use the LCS facility.”
