By May Rutchauski Santa Monica
You would think it’s a vacation for us homeless living on the streets. As has been said before, other cities kick us out, send us on to the next town. Santa Monica may not be a party for us, but at least we have someone who looks out for our rights, too. That’s not just for the rich land owners or the almost-as-rich renters, but us street people.
Councilman (Kevin) McKeown and also (Council member Pam) O’Connor are the only ones who try and help. Without them, we would not have at least some food once in a while and a place to sleep at the picnics in front of City Hall and in the parks.
We need help and McKeown has been there for us.
