Notable quote: “I think the ever-increasing homeless population is a complicated, multi-layered issue. I think we have to have compassion, but also accountability. I also have compassion for the residents who want to raise their children in a safe environment, who want to be able to walk the trails and use the public parks and don’t deserve conditions that are hazardous and unsafe.” (Source: Mountain Democrat)
