Lake Hallie is looking to get tougher on homeless people.
Police Chief Ed Organ says the city is considering two ordinances that would move homeless people out of the community. One would ban panhandling in the city, the other would allow police officers to ticket people who are living in their cars. The chief says the idea is to give officers tools to deal with people who don’t have any place to go. Lake Hallie leaders talked about the ordinances last night. A final vote is expected sometime next month.
