Homeless shelter is wrong

Mon., Aug. 26, 2019

The Spokesman-Review has done a good job covering this problem. Please keep covering it.

This is wrong - the shelter should not be on Sprague Avenue and definitely not next to Project ID. I object to a shelter that does not help families and women with children. Why should we the taxpayers have to pay for the addicts who are self-inflicted and did this to themselves? They will be coming in from all over (other states) once the word is out they get a free handout with no drug tests.
