Full Throttle 09/11/19 10:06:06 PM #1:	Do you support this bridge to work program? - Results (9 votes) Yes. This is a good way to help people get back on their feet 77.78% (7 votes) 7 I support the program but not the amount they're paying them. Should be lower 11.11% (1 vote) 1 No. This is a waste of tax dollars and it's better spent to help these people find their own way to get their job themse 11.11% (1 vote) 1 Democratic Mayor, Frank Scott Jr created a Bridge To Work program for HOMELESS PEOPLE in Little Rock, Arkansas where they are paid MORE than minimum wage of 9.25 an hour to PICK UP TRASH and after impressive results, they are considering extending the program. It started in April and pays homeless people to clear trash and aims to get their lives backon track. It was initially a 6 month trial but now they want to extend it until Sept. 2020... It is managed by the Canvas Community Church and the city spent 80,000 for the program Pastor Paul Atkins said "We're super excited about what has gone on and we hope to be able ot keep the momentum going" In addition to the paycheque, they were also offered physical and mental health treatment, job interviews and even a ROOF over their head! Around 380 people have signed up and they work in teams of 8 with more than 1800 hours put in and 2000 bags of trash cleared Many of the poor have signed up through the church while a large minority have been approached on the street to join Felecia Cooks, a local leader was overwhelmed by this after hearing the mayor is planning to renew the program She said "I just knew. I never had a doubt. I never had a doubt because i knew our potential and i knew that we would get to this point. And so, it made me just want to cry out with tears of joy" Do you support programs like this? Frank - Democrat Mayor --- call me mrduckbear, sweater monkeys.
