Fullerton Mayor Bruce Whita- ker announced his formal opposition to the proposed homeless shelter, planned to be located a mile south of Cal State Fullerton at a town-hall meeting Tuesday night. The mayor expressed his concerns with the Orange County Board of Supervisors for choosing the Fuller- ton location as well as their failure to notify City Council members of their plans. At Hope International University, for his second “Talk of the Town” meeting, the mayor took an unprec- edented stance in opposition to the shelter. He said he is not yet sold on the operation and location of the shelter and has issues with the way the county has presented the plan. “Count me as an opponent of the homeless shelter right now because of this method and the way this has been thought out,” Whitaker said. “I would like to help represent any- body who thinks they’ve been given ROBERT HUSKEY / Daily Titan a short shrift.” Nick, a homeless man from Santa Ana, waits outside the Good Samaritan Center in Fullerton on Tuesday.
