My contact just sent me a link to this story:
"The final installment of the so-called ‘homeless’ ordinances was approved by the Pensacola City Council last night. The new ordinance targets panhandling.
“I know it’s going to be challenged in court, and I suspect the plaintiff will prevail,” said Councilwoman Sherri Myers, who cast the only vote against the ordinance.
In recent weeks, the city council has passed several ordinances that critics charge criminalize homelessness. One prohibits ‘camping,’ another prohibits activities such as washing and shaving in public restrooms and a third targets public urination and defecation.
Throughout the the public discussion about the ordinances, critics urged city council members to address the area’s issues of homelessness instead of implementing ordinances that effectively drive the homeless from the city."
