At the end of Mayor Linda Gorton’s speech to the Rotary Club of Lexington Thursday, she fielded a question about homeless people and panhandlers. She responded that most panhandlers aren’t homeless.
“A few of our corners have panhandlers, and many of them are brought in each morning to seek money from people and then they go home at night. There's a handful who are homeless, but not very many. And we encourage you not to ever give them money.”
