Panhandling Sub-Committee Hearing

Last night I spoke in support of the proposed ordinance because:

1. It does not prevent anyone from holding a sign on a public sidewalk.  It only targets people who act aggressively.    
2. Does not allow people to be in the streets.    I look at this merely  as public safety issue.    

There has been alot of discussion that Little League teams. the WFD and other worthy causes will fall under this ordinance.  Althought this was an unintended consequence, we can find alternatives for these groups.   These groups may have to go to local businesses and ask permission to ask for money no different then what Salvation Army does.
