Re: “WA cuts funding for homeless encampment removal program” (June 13, Native Information):
How extremely shortsighted and incorrect it’s to chop the Encampment Decision Program. We speak about compassion. It’s not compassionate to depart individuals dwelling on the aspect of the highway, to not point out the well being and issues of safety it poses. In the course of the pandemic, I keep in mind seeing individuals stumbling out of the bushes as they ready to cross the freeway.
What on this planet was Gov. Bob Ferguson considering to permit this discount? However now that he has finished this, it’s his duty to repair it. He ought to get on the cellphone and begin requesting funding from all of the billionaires he doesn’t need to tax and demand they spend money on the state the place they dwell and have turn out to be rich.
This program offers measurable outcomes. As a substitute of spending hundreds of thousands on yachts and personal planes, Washington billionaires ought to spend it the place it makes a right away and constructive affect for your entire group.
