I’m reading of the planning board meeting Tuesday night and would like to applaud the members of this community that went before the board on behalf of our homeless citizens. I believe it is good to know that people in this city are not as prejudiced to our homeless citizens as our government has appeared to be. There are many answers that other cities have implemented to offer assistance to the poor and downtrodden.
