I know its really scary for people to face the truth: A lot of the people on the street didn't make "bad" choices. Normal life things happened to them: Layoffs, death of a loved one, illness. That's all it takes and you're on the street.

He can't even be bothered to sign his individual executive orders now? Oh, brother...

I'm just an average (lol) taxpayer residing in Center Township who thinks that we should agree to use my property tax dollars the way we said we would when charter schools came to Indianapolis 20 years ago. Which is to say, not for charter schools. https://t.co/qHgnEKY3iF
