With only three commissioners present, Tuesday evening’s city commission meeting was short, but dominated by citizen comments about the growing homeless problem in Pittsburg. Pittsburg resident John Lair said that in the northeast section of town, trash bins are being rummaged through, bags cut open, and garbage left strewn across the property for the resident to clean up. Lair said he’s heard not to refer to the homeless as criminals, but said it is getting to be a real problem in his neighborhood. He said a neighbor had her car broken into three times.
