By: Graham Moomaw

'They're not actually talking about human beings; what they're talking about is using it as a reason to expand business,' Collins said. 'The main thing is we shouldn't let the Chamber of Commerce use poverty as an excuse for rich people to make more money.
' Collins has called for the creation of a downtown jobs center that would offer guaranteed employment to every city resident who wanted a job...."
