Re: “WA cuts funding for homeless encampment removal program” (June 13, Native Information):
How extremely shortsighted and fallacious 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 street, to not point out the well being and issues of safety it poses. In the course of the pandemic, I bear in mind seeing individuals stumbling out of the bushes as they ready to cross the freeway.
What on the planet was Gov. Bob Ferguson pondering to permit this discount? However now that he has performed this, it’s his accountability to repair it. He ought to get on the telephone and begin requesting funding from all of the billionaires he doesn’t need to tax and demand they put money into the state the place they stay and have grow to be rich.
This program gives 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 direct and constructive influence for the complete neighborhood.
