Seattle has headlined much lately in dealing with the Homeless issues facing their city. As with any place that tries new tactics, good and bad press abound, but press that spotlights the issues facing cities with homeless populations (and thats just about all of them) brings with it an incremental increase in the knowledge of homelessness for our society - something desperately needed because so much of the general public is either ignorant or extremely indifferent to the problem.

Alexander traffics in a new issue for Gubernatorial campaigns:

Sen. Alexander proposed “rating states top to bottom, 1 to 50, on their efficient use of existing highways, publish the results, and make the ratings an issue in governors’ races. We have fuel efficiency ratings for cars. Why not have highway efficiency ratings for states?”
