A judge denied a South Florida newspaper’s request for an injunction to block Jacksonville’s panhandling ordinance.
This week’s Insider Deals are so good you’ll want all of themOn Friday, a federal judge heard The Cosac Foundation’s arguments to block Jacksonville from enforcing its ordinance and allow workers and volunteers to hand out “The Homeless Voice” at major intersections.The nonprofit argued there are too many requirements to get much-needed donations, but the city said there is a safer way to do it.
The law was designed to stop pedestrians from slowing down traffic or walking between cars, which had been causing dangerous road conditions.Sean Cononie, the founder of the newspaper, says this is not the first time it has sued a city, and called the city’s ordinance unconstitutional.In court, the two sides argued about the injunction that would reverse the new ordinance until there is a trial.
JSO has received 1,100 calls to report panhandlers this year; no one has applied for permit needed under new law
