Mayor Zak,
I am writing to you today regarding Resolution 17-xxx in which three Homer
residents and council members are proposing Homer, Alaska become a sanctuary
city.
I strongly oppose such a resolution. Homer is a diverse city, and we
have always welcomed everyone. If we adopt this resolution, we put Federal
aid at risk, tourism industry, and Homer residents.
I do not reside within the city limits, but we have a business in town, my
child attends Homer High School, and we do our shopping in Homer.
What these three city council members are proposing is absurd, and a waste
or the city’s time and money. I am sure there are more important items to
discuss, complete, and propose than this garbage.
I truly believe President Trump is carrying out the laws that are already
in place, and attempting to protect the American people. Does the City of
Homer really have the time and money to entertain this? I think it is time
for three new council members; they do not represent me or my family!
Homer citizens voted for Trump over Clinton, 433 to 329 in District 31-350 and
346 to 284 in District 31-360. People wanted change, and we are getting
it.
We have lived in Homer for over 20 years, and have seen all kinds of people
come in and out. I strongly feel that we do not have to pass this
resolution to maintain our “quirky” little “Hamlet by the Sea.” Thank you
for your time.
Regards,
