Is it even lawful to panhandle in Lafayette? Join us for a frank dialogue about responding to homelessness in our community.

Feel free to comment--but all comments will be reviewed by me before they get posted. I will not post anything scurrilous about Ivy Tech students, faculty, or staff, or about members of the local community. Truth is not a defense. This just isn't going to be that kind of blog.
