I know the feeling of one check away from trouble, & I know how $1, 5, can help. It's not for me to judge, so I don't care what they use the money for. I also sometimes take hot food back to them.

Its better to provide them food if u give them money they will just buy boos

Kathy Deloach

Only when I feel it is a hand up and not out

I don't typically think about it, and if I do, I rarely have extra cash on me to give.

many cannot manage their money. I will give them food if they are genuinely hungry.

Marcia Y

Most of them are smoking cigarettes, I will not give money to anyone to support their habits.

Dave Voiles

I have, but not in a while. Eventually I noticed it was a "career choice" by many of these folks. If it feels right I'll still do it, but not as a habit.

Lee Bennett

Most of people begging drive newer vehicles than I do and have been told make more money than working and don't pay taxes

Sam Ackerman

Oh I could, I just will not. I was homeless at 13yo. Thanks dear old mom. There are lazy people out there, and I'm not going to waste my money on them.

Linda Nolin

No I work hard for my money.

JohnWayne Kenneth Pool

Never money, but food when I can and have it.

Laurel Knight

Because I saw many fake homeless people driving nice cars they had hidden behind stores. So much is a scan. There are programs if they want help and are not just panhandling cause they don't want to w

Its better to provide them food then money so cant buy boos with it

Jodi Dwyer

I used to buy food, but they turned up their noses and said they wanted cash. Don't we all.

Kenneth Swipies

I can afford it, the problem is I do not know what the money will be used for. I know Christ said not to ask, however, that would not be a good steward. Then too, there are plenty of food banks.

Sue Brown

Not enough food banks, with little to no "real" food in them (protein, etc). Canned garbanzo beans. Yay. Often outdated, too. There's a real problem, for sure.

We should all be in favor of anything that creates a safer community for all of us, regardless of political affiliation. Since our federal funds have been decreased, we need another form of revenue to supplement our fire fighting revenue.

Yes, and do some more logging and cleaning the forest

Oakley Taylor

Do you not value trees and animals? Do you understand how precious the forest is for all of us? This is not a partisan issue. It's a matter of how we value life of all kinds, animal and humans alike. Please think about your words before speaking.

The federal budget deficit would be EASILY diminished if the Rs in Congress would vote to make the tax system fairer by making the top richest pay their fair share. But they won't. They'd rather take from the poor+ middle class and sale public lands vs. doing the obvious and fairest remedy!!

Oakley Taylor

Bravo!

Karen Thrower

It is a shameful idea. These lands belong to all of us, and are not for sale.

Oakley Taylor

True dat.

Scott Taylor

Hey, If Mike Lee wants to sell Utah's public lands, see how his constituents like it with theirs. Stay away from Oregon and the other states who don't like it. If Trump wants his big ugly bill to pass, reimburse the government for what the taxpayers pay for his golfing at his resorts + his parade.

Oakley Taylor

Yay to you!

Oakley Taylor

This would be a crime and one that is irreversible. If Trump needed the money so bad, maybe he shouldn’t have spent our hard-earned tax money on his birthday parade. I am a public land owner and I oppose this proposition. How dare Mike Lee try pulling off this crap on us. We’re not stupid.

Carol Yetter

Public lands are our heritage due to the foresight of great individuals. Only those interested in profiteering propose and support the rape of Oregon and public properties.

Oakley Taylor

So true.
