Atlanta City Councilman Michael Julian Bond Says He’ll Keep Working on Panhandling Crackdown

Atlanta City Councilman Michael Julian Bond has been working for some time to pass a tougher ordinance against aggressive panhandling in the City.  In the process, he has drawn fire from advocates for the homeless, among others.  And last week, Bond found what he said were some structural problems with the current city ordinance.  So, he says he will review and re-work his proposal.  But Bond has no plans to withdraw it.  He spoke with WABE’s Denis O’Hayer.
