I am very disappointed that your Council voted against the warming Center. I live in this neighborhood
and unfortunately I was out of town both times you had meetings on it. I know you know this is a needed
service but you know people complained about this neighborhood before the warming Center because of
the low income housing it's just their latest gripe. So people are going to pay with their lives most likely
because you caved in to the minority of people living in this area.
Personally I hope Tanya Horn sues the pants off of Kalispell and wins. I have lived here 36 years and have
seen more prejudice in this valley more than anywhere my entire life and it makes me sad because I love
living here my children live, here my grandchildren live here.
And I'm notjust talking because right now I have a homeless person who's been staying in my home
because there was no services for her. I'm so tired of hearing that the warming Center is drawing more
people here. There have been studies done there's one in Helena in fact that shows that havingthese
kind of services do not draw more homeless people.
