Oregon does something about the homeless

[dryheat]

Wheeler has pinned the blame for the lack of beds on state leaders, who he said have underinvested in temporary shelters compared to neighboring states. He repeated the talking point in remarks to his fellow mayors Friday, saying the effort by Oregon paled in comparison to the amount of money thrown at the issue in Washington and California.

?We need the state government to step up and match the funding levels to expand temporary shelter space now and save lives,? Wheeler said. ?This is an Oregon issue, not just a Portland issue.?

Which means- we need to be at least as weird as CA and WA.
