Quit beating around the bush and call a spade a spade - Hales is a professional liar who's in the pocket of the PBA. All of the actions taken by the city in recent weeks have been a thinly veiled war against the homeless. And this new found money is just a way of buying the complicity of various non profits in exchange for them keeping their mouths shut while policies of criminalization are enacted. This is certainly a win for the PBA and the non profit industrial complex, less so for the homeless who will continue to be targeted and harassed by the city and their hired thugs in the police department.
