Brockton mayor vetos City Council's ban on tents, loitering in public places
Briefly

"I cannot support any ordinance that seeks to criminalize homelessness... These Ordinances violate the constitutional rights of our residents to occupy public spaces."
"While I commend the efforts of the City Council to find solutions to the problems related to the unhoused population, these Ordinances do not provide any solution to these problems."
"My team has spent countless hours working with local law enforcement, nonprofit organizations, business owners, and city departments to find the most effective and humane way to mitigate the public health and safety concerns related to homelessness."
