Idea to send:	Topic Begging/Panhandling/Mental Health Content There should be a ban on panhandling/begging. I understand that many people who panhandle are homeless and/or have mental health issues, however it can be scary at times because some of the panhandlers get very aggressive. I say there should be some sort of community service (perhaps DHS) to evaluate these people for mental health issues. This state also needs more funding in the mental health areas!!! Usually people who are panhandling do have mental health issues and can't afford or do not know the resources to take to get proper treatment and/or medications. By giving these people money most of the time they are "self-medicating" by spending the money on drugs or alcohol, which is a vicious cycle. Stop giving people money and making the problem worse and start giving them the medications and resources they need!
