The City of Edmonton is moving forward on its crackdown on aggressive panhandlers, a group of about 20 or 30 people who police estimate were responsible for 90 per cent of the complaints they received last year.
“I know of one individual that lives in a high-rise downtown,” Edmonton police Insp. Brian Nowlan said Monday. “He makes about $400 a day panhandling, so this is way of making an income.”
At $400 a day, they would make about $140,000 a year. Tax Free!!
