Thank God we have councilman McKeown on the council.As a homeless man, McKeown has been the only one to protect us. If not for him, I would have been kicked out of here too. I’ve been pushed from one town to the other and all I can say is we need more like McKeown on the Santa Monica city council. We need government that looks out for us poor folk. I hope that when Councilman McKeown is voted back in, that he will make those hotels illegal. He should convert them into hotels for us so we don’t have to sleep on the street anymore.We need more McKeowns.
