Last night’s vote approving the homeless shelter moratorium wasn’t a surprise. However, I’m grateful to the residents who - throughout this process - provided their time, thoughts, and experiences. Your voices matter, not only because that is what democracy is all about but because you care and you showed up for your community.
Let’s show who we really are. We aren’t a community that runs from our problems. We care about our neighbors, and we do what it takes.
I’m looking forward to the Shelter Committee’s work, creating solutions to solve our homeless challenges and moving Lewiston forward as a community that cares.
