El Cajon mayor sends homeless to set up camp in County Supervisor Fletcher’s front yard
Get On His Lawn!
Fletcher: “This kind of heartless gamesmanship, using human lives as political props, is just the sort of thing we’ve come to expect from Republicans. What’s more, it reeks of NIMBYism. How would Mayor Wells like it if we sent homeless people from around the county to live in his city? What’s that? We did? Well, at least we gave them hotel vouchers.”
Last week, California Attorney General Rob Bonta sent a letter to El Cajon Mayor Bill Wells warning him that he was violating state and federal housing laws when he threatened to fine them for participating in the county’s Bridge Motel Voucher Program for the homeless. County Supervisor Nathan Fletcher was quick to praise the move, and even quicker to condemn Wells’ response: sending five homeless people to set up tents on his front lawn. “I suppose it’s not surprising after [Florida Governor Ron] DeSantis’ stunt with the migrants in Martha’s Vineyard. But just as that backfired when the Vineyard’s kind souls rallied to support the migrants before shipping them off to a military base the next day, I’m pleased to say that I’ll be distributing peanut butter sandwiches and Cokes to these poor souls before calling the cops. Can’t really afford to have them here after dark, you know?"
