Dear Editor,

Now that the elections have come and gone, opponents of Referendum 005 should come forth and come forth soon with their plan on how to deal with homelessness. Their plan should have a certain amount of compassion, and it should also be soon, because winter is about here, and inaction will lead to a higher number of homeless deaths.

Opponents of Referendum 005 should also face up to the gross mismanagement of the city's homeless budget: how this happened, if any crimes were committed, and how to prevent this from happening again.

Sincerely,

Brett Hamrick
