It is appalling that Humbolt County, Santa Barbara /and the state
of Colorado and other bities,ounties and states give bus tickets to their
homeless folks and send them here and elsewhere!
This has to stop in SLO City!
I believe that our police Chief needs to screen our homeless
and if they have been given a bus ticket to come here from somewhere else,
we need to give them a bus ticket back to where they came from!
This is not a case of not in my backyard, it is a case that we
have thousands of our own to take care of.
Atascadero Elks Club sponsors the ECHO program Elks Club Homeless
Outreach in which homeless folks are given a bus ticket to get back home
after they have been screened for their need.
The 1160 Minutes" TV Program had a segment about the homeless liv-
ing on the streets of Los Angeles. There were 11,000 in just one section
of the city! What would we do if L.A. gave bus tickets to those folks
i
to come here? SLO City needs to nip this problem in the bud NOW!
The Tribune and New Times reported that some homeless folks that
they interviewed had been given bus tickets from the above mentioned
places, to come here.
