FOX 13 did a great job with their panhandling story. In addition to myself, they interviewed Handling-Panhandling co-moderator Mike King and Center City Commission security director Larry Bloom. The report went a long way toward getting the message out that donations to panhandlers generally don’t help the homeless and in fact enable people’s addictions.
Many thanks to Lauren Johnson and her videographer for a fantastic story.
I’m heading out to Bartlett for a client meeting this morning, but will be back Downtown for National Night Out this afternoon in Court Square.
