In Defense of Dan Sandel
- Share via
“Chatsworth Businessman Moves to Share Good Life” (Times Valley Edition, Nov. 8) says that social workers and government officials do not want to refer clients to Dan Sandel--the Chatsworth self-made millionaire who offers jobs and housing to the homeless.
They are afraid of losing their jobs for being irrelevant, or--at the very least--of being unable to cry out for salary increases by saying they are overloaded with cases.
Typical government entrenchment.
