uno argues
its time the state get on board with a plan that he
claims can help up to 100 homeless Hawaiians a year.In 2010, Mizuno
along with state Rep. Rida Cabanilla failed to sway lawmakers. But what
they did next shocked many. Both Mizuno and Cabanilla started soliciting
funds to send the homeless away anyway on a case-by-case basis. Mizuno
chipped in $100 of his own money to buy a one-way plane
ticket to send homeless man Gregory Reese back to Seattle, Wash.That didnt
sit well with John Fox, director of the Seattle Displacement Coalition,
who told the Honolulu Star-Advertiser, he had never heard of elected officials
using their own money to send a homeless person back to his
or her home state.But Hawaiis relocation plan isnt a new idea. It
is fashioned after a New York City program implemented six years ago.
The Mayor Michael Bloomberg-backed plan bought hundreds of homeless families
bus tickets, train rides and airfare so they could leave the city.According
to the latest figures available, New York City spent at least $500,000
annually on Project Reconnect. From 2007 to 2009, the Bloomberg administration,
which has struggled with homelessness, sent more than 550 families packing.
They argue that sending away families is a lot less expensive than
housing them in shelters which cost the city more than $36,000 a
year per family.In Baton Rouge, La., the citys Metro Council approved a
measure to send its 800 homeless residents out of
un owners." The influential lobby has opposed past
nominees and been a critic of the agency itself, arguing it has
been too intrusive in its enforcement of gun laws."I think we're going
to get it," Sen. Richard Durbin, D-Ill., the Senate Democratic vote counter,
said Tuesday about efforts to round up 60 votes for Jones.Many gun
control groups have supported Jones' nomination, including Mayors Against
Illegal Guns, led and largely financed by wealthy New York City Mayor
Michael Bloomberg."Senators have come to understand that one of the reasons
we have the worst gun violence problem in the world is the
agency that's supposed to deal with it is rudderless and under-resourced,"
said Mark Glaze, the group's executive director.Many Republicans still have
qualms about Jones. Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, has complained that the
nomination should not move forward because of two whistleblower complaints
against him involving his work as U.S. attorney for Minnesota, a post
he has held since 2009."It is imprudent and unwise for the Senate
to give final consideration to any nominee where there is an open
investigation into that nominee's conduct," Grassley said this week.Jones
has also been acting ATF director since 2011.Also expected to win Senate
approval this week is Power, a former Obama foreign policy adviser and
long-time human rights activist, whom the president wants to become U.N.
ambassador.Power, who won a Pulitzer Prize for a book on
