Every community experiences a homelessness problem, but often to very unique extents. That's why local councils or government should be responsible for creating the game plan to combat homelessness, versus a state government that's unfamiliar with a city's needs. People can also step up to help ease these problems by their own motivation. Show Less

I really think that both local and state should work together to solve the problem

Tim Griggs

Why dont we leave it up to the lazy people that want to live off the state. Get a damn job. McDonald's is hiring.

Ka San

the "lazy people" - "mcdonalds is hiring comment" - completely ignorant.

sociologists are probably the only people who understand that trying to group them all together is asking for trouble. divide them into small groups and spread them out.

Kevin Crabtree

how can anyone be unemployed in this economy unless you are mentally challenged or Just Plain Lazy and only one of those deserves help

Sam Ackerman

Oftentimes, state lawmakers have the most sweeping control over institutional changes that would help homelessness in several cities. That's the best and fastest way to make a change, in my opinion! Show Less

They raise our taxes so high that people become homeless, especially families.

Chas. Edwards

...legislative insurance liability protection reformation regarding donated property/structure for homeless

Lorina De Larm

Well in this state, making it a sanctuary state, they allowed the flood of illegal aliens take the housing from the American people, drive up housing war so this state has become a homeless state, I

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.
