My internship with BLM had been suspended and I wont get any back pay like government employees. Plus, once I'm back to work I have to somehow make up all the lost hours in order to get my awards.

I am a retired federal worker and have been through a few such shutdowns. We always got back-pay once the govt reopened. None that I have been thru have lasted this long, however.

Safe parking programs have a proven track record of successfully taking people from being homeless into having a place of their own. Safe parking programs cut down on costs to cities for ambulance calls, police calls, visits to emergency rooms and mental health crises that costs taxpayers money.

Perhaps? Hiding the un-housed in various random locations doesn't solve much. This is just another band-aid solution! Seems just the latest adaptation of "kicking the can down the road"...?

People should not have to put up with annoying intrusive lights that inconsiderate neighbors install
