Okay, I can see your point but if the establishment is truly providing a benevolent service I can't see them denying the charitable donation. I would surmise the problem arises when someone takes it upon themselves to start their own meals on wheels service thus having homeless persons congregating in front of say, a buc-ees to receive the offerings. But, judging by the left leanings within the city government of Houston I could be wrong... But I hope not.

EXACTLY!!! See if they were as outraged as I and many others who think similar to my beliefs do they would simply use the ballot box and make him irrelevant and unemployed. The problem is the quasi-socialist inhabitants of these city's see nothing wrong with this as long as they don't have to intermingle with these "lower than" individuals. But, they can still feel as if they're helping by letting the nanny's control how they dole out the exorbitant taxes and thus the problem is out of sight and out of mind. But, as above, what better way to keep the downtrodden under the thumb. Heck, I wouldn't be too surprised if they handed them a tray of food and an already filled out absentee ballot ready for a signature.

Mr. Bloomberg on the heels of restricting the size of your sugary beverage has decided that generous and selfless individuals of NY can no longer provide food to homeless shelters and the poor all willy nilly without the express permission of his fat, fiber and salt content Gestapo.

This man is off the charts looney and needs a padded room. I think he may be going the way of Howard Hughes. OR, he is an avid unchecked control freak who has not been challenged.
