Bakst supports homeless on radio

When I turned on my radio this morning, the first thing I heard

    was PROJO 's Charlie Bakst on R.I. public radio putting in a kind word

    for the local homeless, expressing his disappointment in Governor Almond's

    fiscal meanness, denying 5 million bucks allocated for affordable housing.

            Explaining himself on TV " Linc " seemed not so much mean spirited

    as a political clod. Poor people were praying for him with his cancer

    ordeal. You would think a rendezvous with  mortality would make the guy

    a little more sensitive.

                To be sure  CHARISMA is treacherous in politics. But our " Linc "

    has about as much of that as I have stock market wealth.

               Again I applaud Bob Kerr for being on the decent side of the

    homeless issue. (  what cold cold hearts indeed ! )
