Panhandling For those folks in Ocean Springs who have become concerned with the ever-growing homeless problem and the risk of professional panhandlers, don’t even bother bringing it up to the city’s administration. I’ve written every single alderperson, including the mayor, and the only person to even bother responding to me was Rob Blackman and aside from insulting me, basically said nothing will be done. There’s too high of a risk of a lawsuit. That being said, local business owners should really consider taking matters into their own hands to deter the aforementioned professionals from setting up shop and flying a sign on their properties. Kudos for the management at Spring Plaza for stepping up and being proactive in this matter.
