NNS reporter Andrea Waxman, goes on the air with Lake Effect’s Joy Powers to discuss the new laws regarding panhandling. Panhandling on street medians and highway ramps in Milwaukee became illegal on Oct. 28, 2016. A new city ordinance calls for violators to be fined or imprisoned.
This new Milwaukee panhandling law discriminates against physically disabled people, who actually need the money from panhandling, in order to survive and to pay their monthly bills; because, they are NOT employable.
