Last night's South Tampa Candidate Forum marked the 200th time (more or less) that I've been asked to give my opinion on the issue of panhandling in the City of Tampa. Enough is enough. Of all the major issues facing this city in the 21st century.
Former Democratic National Committee chair Howard Dean, left, and Newt Gingrich, far right, discussed current political issues in a debate moderated by Professor Derek Malone-France.
Tampa City Council members voted to reject a proposed ban on panhandling and street vending on the city's busiest roads. The council voted 5-2, with Thomas Scott and Mary Mulhern supporting the ban.
