City mulls limits on downtown panhandling in Lawrence
Downtown Lawrence Inc executive director Jane Pennington says panhandlers are increasing and worry customers. City staff note bans exist in other cities but warn of court challenges and define panhandling clearly. Some propose night restrictions or targeted ordinances while current law bans aggressive panhandling and may be tested in court. Commissioners will discuss the issue at 6 35 p m Tuesday with no final decision.
