Panhandlers versus the City of Portland.  The conscience of a community is tested when Portland residents must come to grips with conflicted feelings about homelessness, giving, and individual freedom, as the proposal of a simple public safety ordinance unleashes a torrent of passionate, sometimes outrageous response from all sides that ultimately leads to a heated court battle over Constitutional rights.  This 100% true tale of the Portland median strip controversy is told in the voices of those involved: mayors, city councilors, advocates, lawyers, police, neighborhood association heads, the press, and of course, the panhandlers themselves.
