Morano says he disagrees with some characterizations of the federal government, notes five public panels, says federal, city, and state could all do more, and stresses there is no disagreement on ending veteran homelessness.

Frank Morano

Thank you, Chair.

Frank Morano

I'll just add, you know,

Frank Morano

I think it's no secret that I disagree with several of the characterizations made of the current federal government administration.

Frank Morano

We have five panels of the public that are here to testify today.

Frank Morano

And what I want to do in this hearing today is get answers from the public, from both of the commissioners that are good enough to be here, and help that testimony inform what we're doing on a legislative basis.

Frank Morano

And the truth is, could the federal government be doing more for veterans?

Frank Morano

100%.

Frank Morano

So could the city.

Frank Morano

So could the state.

Frank Morano

So could we all.

Frank Morano

I really do believe that all of my colleagues here, Democrat, Republican, whatever, are all approaching this hearing and this issue from a place of passion and wanting to do better for our

Frank Morano

veterans.

Frank Morano

And I love that I'm in a body where we can have such spirited disagreements about those sort of things, but there's no disagreement that there should be no veteran homelessness.
