Call Bullshit on That. “Safe Harbor” plan needs amending
- Issue: The Safe Harbor plan passed has some serious defects (see p. 3 and 4). Chief among them is that there was no public process about it. As in zero. Zip. Yet this could be the most important human services legislation passed by the city council ever. As Peter Steinbrueck says, “there has never been policy [made] as this level and [with] this level of coordination. And the proposals were rushed through committee and full council without so much as a public hearing. With no apology for the colloquialism, it’s time to call bullshit on that. And fix some of the gaping holes.
