Its a safety issue. In Marion County, the county commission had a ordinance in place for all the corner panhandlers but one sued and actually won 150,000 for violation of 1st amendment rights. They went back and changed the ordinance to focus on safety at intersections and all that and now they're gone. At Walmart, We had one guy approach say he was out of gas, we said no thank you, he goes around the corner gets on his bike. Lol.
