Hopkins never works with the Council. The meetings are on YouTube. He is the mini-me of Trump. He does as he pleases, dances around the truth, and now flourishes his pen on E.O.s. His theme song should be "My Way". During the debate (which I wouldn't call a debate), he denied that he wanted to be governor. In fact, he wanted to run for governor but that would have ruined his friendship with McKee who shows up at his fund-raisers. He claims he has a sitting council with a Democratic majority which is true. But, if one takes the time to watch the meetings or read a newspaper, the Council rarely overrides him. They didn't override him on this. They used a common sense approach - let's see if we can do this better for these people. Hopkins prefers to jump in with both feet. He removed the fine but still had any belongings removed. My guess is that didn't go to any storage as they should. These people don't have much and sending their things off to the landfill is just plain mean. These folks have so little hope and then they're pushed right back down with absolutely nothing. Once again, they have to start over. It's a never-ending cycle of no hope and no home. There's only so many times one can repeat and rinse. Disheartening, isn't it?
For a further look at the issue of Homelessness, I'd refer anyone to go to RINewsToday.com and the 8/26/2024 edition. It's a very accurate and good read. Thanks!

Arresting the homeless is akin to Middle Age debtor prisons. Cranston should be embarrassed. You're mayor is a dolt.
thank you, Steve
