As long as the homeless are respectful in their mannerisms then Yes. If they are disrespectful to the community then get rid of them.

Music One

The ones of you voting no have probably never had to deal with being homeless before. You should try it and then come back and revote.

53 years ago Neil Armstrong walked on the moon. Democrats today have felons and homeless walking the streets.

Max DeYoung

I've been taking care of homeless people, since I joined the Navy in the late sixties. I voted "No."

It's about time to bring back the old county infirmary or poor farm for the county’s indigent citizens. Past time.

Max DeYoung

Pan handling is more lucrative in public places. The City needs to quit enabling these people. The homeless have their own lives to destroy, but not the innocent people around them. I am not being mean, I am being honest.

Adam

Most of these panhandlers actually make more money than most of us. Plus it's tax free.

It can be humid in March, but ask folks suffering in the Pacific Northwest and elsewhere how they're doing with this summer's heat waves.

Your body FEELS the heat more when the humidity is high.

The humidity makes the heat 100% worse. Even on a cool day it brings out the worst in people.

Brandy Kuykendall

I have lived all over the country and stated where the humidity is higher are more difficult to get through the hat days than the ones where there is less Humidity.

Lisa Gray

I moved from California to Alabama recently and the humidity is killing me!

anita rosales

I live in Hawaii you're soaked the second you dry off.

Carla Altenbach

People with COPD can't breath when humidity is high. If it's just hot and below twenty percent humidity, it's easier to breath

Renee Collins Held

high humidity means higher temperature.. plus you just can not breath as easily!!

Are you taking steps to save on utilities during the heat wave?

I try to minimize any changes in my electric bills. So I close shades and curtains to block out the sun and keep my thermostat at 77* in the summer. I run the dishwasher in the late evening and do laundry in the mornings.

Bonnie Sandker

I'm 86 years old and need the a/c on. Have it set so it is 78 in my apartment. Can't get out in the heat.

Jennifer M

I keep the blinds/drapes pulled. Turn up the AC a few notches during the day while at work. Small steps to help the utility bill.

Lisa Gore

Everyone should look up operation Popeye that has to do with the weather.

Jack L

Don`t pick on Popeye, I watched him on TV every Saturday morning when I was a kid

Adam

And the point is???

Jennifer M

Thank you for a little history lesson this morning.

Jack L

I try to watch the AC usage to keep the electric bill as low as possible

No, because I have always been careful not to waste our natural resources.
