I am a very compassionate person and refuse to demonize the poor or the homeless. I know many put themselves in that unfortunate situation with incredibly poor life choices, but I also know many just fell on tough times that put them in that horrendous scenario and need support and positivity and they will get that from me.
With that being said, Everett is my hometown and I am very discouraged and saddened by the enormous homeless population I see on a daily basis. I will strongly support new Mayor Cassie Franklin, who now embarks on an incredibly difficult task of making a big dent in this unfortunate epidemic that is currently plaguing this wonderful city.
