At last night’s meeting (Monday), City Council passed the first three readings as it’s meant to combat issues like aggressive panhandling and temporary shelters. Kerry Pateman with Community Partners Addressing Homelessness told MyPGNow.com this is nothing more than a band-aid solution. “Really, those living in poverty and staying on the street cannot afford to pay fines, so number one it is not going to work and we believe it will just move the situation around not really making it a solution.” She believes the city would have been better off allowing camping in a certain area instead of issuing eviction notices.
