Help eliminate panhandling in Anderson, Indiana

The Issue

Recently, panhandling has become a major problem for the town of Anderson.  You cannot go anywhere without seeing someone begging for money (and leaving their trash behind) on the side of the road, at an intersection, in front of pharmacies, or by major highway. Sign and share the petition if you’d like to see change in Anderson. We nend to weed out the ones that are panhandling for profit and get real help for the ones that actually need it the most. Let’s force the “fakers” out of town and focus on getting our true homeless population the help they need. Comment on this petition about your experiences with the panhandlers here in this city, because I know a lot of you have a lot to say. 

 

EDIT: This petition was made in response to a FB post on a local group. Everyone was in an uproar about how much trash is left behind by panhandlers. And how they’ve taken over Anderson. Yada. Yada. No one had a solution, so I made this. If we can’t stop the panhandlers and find out who truly needs the help, at least we could force them to cleanup after themselves?
