Panhandling downtown

Business and property owners in downtown Seattle will distribute a brochure this holiday season giving tips to tourists, workers and shoppers discouraging them from giving money to panhandlers. Is it a solution to the panhandling problem or just Bah Humbug stinginess?

Guests:
Anita Woo spokesperson for the Downtown Seattle Association
Bill Block Project Director, The Committee to End Homelessness in King County
