Dallas City Council Vote to Target Panhandling

(WFAA)

Dallas (WBAP/KLIF) – An upcoming vote by Dallas City Council today will make it illegal to stand or walk on medians; an accompanying measure would give the Dallas City Marshal’s office the authority to enforce that law.

The law is aimed at cutting down on panhandling in the city.

Earlier this year the City of Plano made it illegal for panhandlers to step onto a roadway while seeking monetary donations from motorists; city leaders took no action against those who stand on the sidewalk or median.
