Siegen Lane Panhandling

Another example of lack of leadership (or competence) in this town. Getting really sick of this place.
Successful business owners are now tasked with forming committees to address the city's problems (instead of people responsible for this stuff).

Businessman Richard Lipsey says aggressive panhandling near the intersection of Siegen Lane and Rieger Road just off Interstate 10 has gotten so out of hand he is convening a meeting later this week at his office, which is near the busy intersection, with other concerned business owners, law enforcement and elected officials.
Lipsey says he and other business people in the area are frustrated that authorities have failed to address the growing number of panhandlers, who confront motorists in their vehicles and at nearby gas stations and leave trash strewn about the area.

“People are afraid to drive down Reiger Road,” he says. “It’s really gotten to be a problem.”

fricking cop out by the Mayor's Office. These people aren't mentally ill. They are professional gypsies who are doing this for a living.
quote:
he administration is aware of the panhandling problem around the parish, particularly in the Siegen Lane area, and has been working to pull together various groups of providers and social service agencies to help those who suffer from substance abuse and behavioral health problems, says Gissel, who agrees the problem has gotten worse since the pandemic.
But he and Broome’s assistant CAO, Pamela Jones, who is tasked with addressing the issue, say the problem is complex and will take time to solve.
“Panhandling is one of our major pillars of concern and needs to be collectively addressed by the police and sheriff’s office,” says Jones, who estimates between 85% and 90% of panhandlers suffer from mental illness.

Just hire some vigilantes to burn them out and have the cops look the other way. That, or round them up and put them on a bus for the left coast

Just put them all in a van at night and go take them to New Orleans

Am I wrong but isn’t Lipsey against St. George?

Lipsey got rid of F King and Alleva. Time to go after the bums.

remember when that guy offered the gypsy a job and he turned it down. Then the dude sat out beside him with a sign saying "i offered him a job and he declined" or something ot that affect.

They need to bulldoze those motels right there. Dope boys are posted up in there. That’s why the panhandlers are in that area

Everyone knows Broome is a failure but Daryl Gissel is a diarrhea slurping, worthless waste of tax dollars bureaucrat.
I've never seen him on the right side of anything.

They are mostly white addicts so there shouldn't be a huge backlash. I bet Reiger road business are sick of it.

Yes, and he supports Mayor Broome.
Now his little corner of BR is being impacted, he decides to rattle some cages.
He’s worried about his part of town, he’s not worried about the rest of it.

Broome and her cronies are useless. How complex can this possibly be?

Good news for the panhandlers that fell on bad times and are out a job, the Amazon is about to open right there!

I live in the St. George area and use that exit frequently. What has surprised me the most in the past month is the increase in the number of female panhandlers. A few months ago you hardly ever saw one. Now that almost outnumber the men.

Any chance they relocate all these frickers from every exit between Trader Joe’s and Siegen to Siegen?
If nothing else, the bum fights over the corner should thin out their numbers.
