Hawaii lawmakers want to buy homeless one-way tickets off island

Lawmakers in the Aloha State want to wave goodbye to their growing homeless population -- by buying them a one-way ticket off the island.
Hawaii's controversial three-year “Return to Home” pilot program launches later this year and is being billed as a way to help the state’s 17,000 homeless residents, while reducing the financial burden the state has in caring for them. Under the plan, the state will pay for a one-way plane ticket for any homeless resident who can find someone on the mainland to take them in. 
The program, which has a $100,000 annual budget, is the brainchild of state Rep. John Mizuno, who had unsuccessfully tried to get a similar plan through the past three legislative sessions. This year, the measure was attached to a larger spending bill and squeaked through the state legislature.
Critics, though, say the program is a quick fix and does nothing to address the root causes of homelessness.


The Leftist Liberal bastion of the world Hawaii wants to PAY to remove all the homeless and send them back from where ever they came from, a one ay ticket to wherever you choose. Is this the Democratic Liberal compassion they all clamor about? And yet they ( Liberals ) say republicans lack compassion? My god people wake up already.
