HOUSING FOR THE POOR

{LEAD} What's all the fuss about? Of course we should build more local jails and state prisons. After all, where else will we shelter the new poor, the homeless, the mentally ill and retarded, the chronically ill and dying, the alcohol and drug addicted, welfare mothers, jobless dads, high-school dropouts, juvenile delinquents, ex-cons and other ``undesirables''? At $18,000 a year per head, it's a tax bargain. Just don't build these prisons in our back yard. Vote Limburger in `96!
