Speaking from personal experience, I had a ‘homeless’ fellow who worked part time for me for over 9 years. He lived at the shelter on West Tennessee. He was paid cash every day with which he promptly bought illegal drugs. He told of the situation at the shelter. He had to be in by 7 PM and they slept on the floor on pads. But he had been there long enough that he had been rewarded with a bunk bed. So the longer he stayed, the better the accommodations. Most of you do not have any idea why these people are homeless but many of them prefer that lifestyle over working and be responsible citizens (mental illness excepted).

Single member districts in City elections will solve many of our issues. School Board and County Commission have single member districts. Let someone from a certain area be responsible for his/her area and the voters from that area. It will de-centralize the city power cabal. Right now all city voters elect all seats with only one segment of the population needed to win a seat. I have lived in the same house, within the city, for 17 years and only one city candidate has knocked on my door asking for my vote…….that was Steve Stewart and he did it twice.

Take note of the major political party affiliation of almost every city with a “homeless crisis.” That’s not a coincidence. Liberals are not business friendly, which makes unemployment and homelessness higher in these areas by default. You want a job? Quit voting blue.

And the candidate who has the expertise in dealing with the homeless, lost to the candidate who uses our tax dollars to paint contentious controversial political messages on public streets that incites violence.

Bill Schack for Mayor!!!!

It would appear that the City leadership has discovered a solution. Using our hard-earned tax dollars to payoff local slumlords to take in the homeless and scatter them all about the city is every neighborhood. They’ll not only use our tax dollars to pay them a bonus to take them in, but also cover the rent and damages they cause to the property.

… can’t make this stuff up

Great idea Jon:
Back in the BHO days of occupy Wall Street we had a local contention of them camping on a vacant space near the Turlington Building. Lets open that space to the homeless.

I say let them all camp at Klemen and Cascades, and maybe house some in all these new hotels and luxury Downtown living. 18 hour downtown!

You telling me we have free campgrounds scattered around Leon County??!! Do they have electric, water, and sewer hookups for campers? Or is it just tent camping?

The way the mayor has ignored the panhandling at intersections is unconscionable.

Projects are not meeting environmental and aesthetic standards (Welaunee, Boulos).

They continue to find money for ridiculous politically motivated boondoggles and create slush funds at the expense of our quality of life.

They waste taxpayer dollars on political propaganda and projects that incite violence.

Yet they keep getting voted in.

Do the Liberals realize they are also hurting themselves?
