@mayra_H81 Misdemeanors are criminal charges. Proposing providing more resources & stability and less criminal charges & chasing people in circles is helpful to getting people out of homelessness.

[Daniel Carlino @CarlinoforMT]

Missoula City Council keeps spending millions of dollars on criminalizing homelessness. With Councilman Mike Nugent & others’ ordinance in city council this week, they are proposing that we the City:

❌Charge people experiencing homelessness misdemeanor charges for sleeping

[Daniel Carlino @CarlinoforMT]

@jillmhtaber Use the $ to provide people with places to sleep safely rather than spending it shuffling everyone in circles. Replicate things the city is already doing well like opening the Blue Heron and focus on connecting people to resources rather than the focus on punishment.

[Daniel Carlino @CarlinoforMT]

❌ tow away people’s vehicles who are living in them
❌ get rid of the policy that would have established resources like bathrooms, lockers, safe places to camp

[Daniel Carlino @CarlinoforMT]

On the bright side all of these rates paid will go towards benefiting our water utility, rather than increasing the Carlyle Group’s profits. As stewards of our water utility, we need to make it as environmentally friendly & as affordable for residents as possible.

[Daniel Carlino @CarlinoforMT]

The cost of living is too damn high. Rent, groceries, electric bills have all skyrocketed, and now the city council is voting to increase our residential water rates by an average of $26/month in total.

[Daniel Carlino @CarlinoforMT]

We are feeling the squeeze, and I won’t be supporting any increases on the price of basic needs for Missoulians, such as water.

[Daniel Carlino @CarlinoforMT]

Using the criminal-legal system to address homelessness is wrong and excacerbates the issue. https://t.co/iBSD3EO29v

The future generations are counting on us. We cannot take any more excuses from our governments— follow climate science or step aside.

[Daniel Carlino @CarlinoforMT]

Natural disasters are hitting us harder than ever, species are going extinct at unprecedented rates, and all of our health is on the line. Stopping the climate crisis is the issue of our era.

[Daniel Carlino @CarlinoforMT]

Recently, the Missoula City Council has voted against proposals to fund a sustainable building program, end mandated parking spots, and tonight is likely going to vote to eliminate the citizen climate advisory board for the City. Missoula City Council must do better.

Breaking: The city of Missoula has approved a 16% tax increase, or $320 for a median missoula home, on an 8-4 vote. 11% of the increase comes from a voter-approved fire levy. Council also approved two emergency, one-time mills to help pay for the Johnson Street Shelter #mtnews

NEW: Almost all of Missoula’s service providers, including Hope Rescue Mission and the Missoula YWCA, opposed time restrictions in the city council’s new urban camping law. Read my updated story with council amendments and public comment here #mtnews

Missoula City Council is taking up this ordinance again tonight. Here’s my op-ed about it. #mtpol https://t.co/Ktvo4EY6fu

[Daniel Carlino @CarlinoforMT]

@JoshMNBCMT This resolution was passed at 4am because the city council members who are pushing for it wanted to make sure they could get the resolution into affect immediately.

I motioned to bring it back on Wednesday instead of going through amendments and voting so late.

[Daniel Carlino @CarlinoforMT]

@wahtu_kbga I almost said new fast food places too

[Daniel Carlino @CarlinoforMT]

Here’s a thread of the play by play of last night’s city council meeting. #mtpol

[Jacob Owens @JacobOwensTV]

A first reading of the ordinance is now underway.
