Scanner Reports 6-21-19

By Roger the Scanner Guy

The argument between the Major and City Councilman the other day as described on Noozhawk really bothers me because I feel that behind the scenes of beautiful Santa Barbara the city is drowning in band-aides. Councilman Dominguez is right, he wants to do things the right way; building a strong foundation is the right way to go, not put band-aids on the problems until the next Major and City Council people come along. Considering the homeless issue: five million dollars a year for enforcement and clean up, and one million to fix the problem?  So, that is one million dollars a year to cure homelessness in Santa Barbara which really should have been cured in the first plan in 2010 or 2011. In 1999 or so there was 12 Year plan to cure homelessness, I guess we’re on the 2nd plan now. Pretty soon it will be the 100 Year plan to cure homelessness which basically is a business, it’s ignorant to deny that it’s not, it’s an industry. 5 million for enforcement and clean up and one million per year to cure homelessness is only to continue to maintain the business. It covers salaries. No wonder there are so many homeless camps that never get cleaned up, piles and piles of garbage in the bushes hidden from public view, on-off ramps, on ramps and behind businesses, so the Democratic Party once again will refuse to endorse Councilman Jason Dominguez. That is too bad. Regardless of their endorsement, I will again be voting for Councilman Dominguez; though I may not always agree with his actions and decisions, he is willing to make things right and work for the people.
