How do you feel about Simi's proposed ban on panhandling?
RICHARD BENEDON, MD Los Robles Hospital ER doctor "It's ludicrous, absolutely preposterous. How do you take money from people who are panhandling. It's unenforceable."
EDDIE COURTNEY Mental health/rehab specialist "It's tough. I'm Christian, and I believe we should help the poor. But I understand there are people who take advantage of that."
SHANNON ENRIGHT Credit union employee "There are homeless people in need. I think they should focus on helping them, rather than saying they have to do X, Y, Z."
LAUREN BEOLENS Student "I think it shouldn't be illegal, because just because someone asks for money doesn't mean it has to be given to them."
