Delray officials preliminarily pass panhandling rule - Sun Sentinel

The headline to this article is a little misleading. Yes, the Delray City Commission passed a series of rules to control "aggressive" panhandling and there will be a public hearing soon. The real news seems to come later in the article when it's revealed that the City Manager ordered $60,000 in garbage carts in October 2013 and asked for permission from the Commission in January of 2014. Commissioners were not pleased and there may be repercussions coming for the City Manager. Click title for link. Here is more on the panhandling issue:

The result: a rule that will address "aggressive" panhandling without violating people's First Amendment right to beg.
The law targets "aggressive" panhandling by defining it as anyone who keeps asking for money after being told no, raises their voice or touches someone else.
The new rule also dictates where in the city people can beg. It prohibits panhandling on private property without permission and in public places such as bus stops, city parks and sidewalk cafes. The rules don't apply to beggars standing quietly with signs or street performers who collect cash for their acts.
