Houston Councilwoman Ada Edwards Says Homeless People Stink

Posted by Eric at 6:28 pm. Filed under: General

Yep, it’s true.

Houston public libraries want to keep stinky and tired people out.

Library officials said people have been using the libraries as temporary shelters, restaurants and changing stations. The new ordinance prohibits sleeping on tables, eating, using restrooms for bathing and “offensive bodily hygiene that constitutes a nuisance to others.”

“I understand what they’re trying to do, but when you start targeting a community like the homeless, I think that’s poor policy,” council member Ada Edwards said.

  6. Dear Ms. Edwards on Saturday, March 7, 2009 there was a discussion on your show about individuals who have been charged with a crime and they are innocent. Can you please provide me with the name of this organization that can help this young man (who at the time of the allegation was 16) who was falsely charged with sexually assaulting a young female (who was 12 years old). An Attorney was hired, however after the money dried up, he fell to represent this young man. Now, his life has been destroyed. Please help.
