More antisemitic materials have been found, this time on the Treasure Coast.

Baggies containing kernels of corn and paper with hateful messages were discovered in several residential driveways, according to police in Vero Beach.

It's the first such report on the Treasure Coast, but these incidents have been happening in recent weeks across Palm Beach County, including in Boca Raton, the Town of Palm Beach and on vehicles in the employee parking lot at the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office.

There was also an incident last month in which a Swastika and antisemitic messages were projected on the AT&T building in downtown West Palm Beach.

Charges are difficult to file for these types of incidents because of First Amendment protections against hate speech. But Republican State Representative Mike Caruso has filed a bill that he hopes will be taken up during the regular Legislative session next month.

Among other things, it would make it a crime to project anything against a building that you don't own.
