homeless

The St. Cloud area has an estimated 450 to 500 homeless people. That according to Benton County Commissioner Steve Heinen. Steve joined me on WJON along with Victoria Blonigen from Benton County Outreach and CentraCare Outreach Nurse Heather Post.

St. Paul has launched a new campaign to curb panhandling, but advising driver not give cash to those standing on street corners. Should St. Cloud look at this approach?

With a hidden camera and me dressed up as someone who appeared to be homeless, I had a plan - sit in downtown Rochester, MN, specifically in front of some of the businesses and locations where I have been told people are being rude to those experiencing homelessness.

"As the saying goes, when one fire station closes, a pawn shop opens. Well, something like that."

If someone paid the $1,000, would you rappel down the side of the MOA?
