Hey City' What's the Rule?

Post by Jim O'Bryan »

As I am sure many other wonder about this.

What is the city's rules on going door to door and asking for?...

It used to be we would get a kid a week stopping by the door selling seeds, subscriptions, cookies, Grit. But it seems like everyday I get some 35-55 year old asking for money for what his Xerox has on it. They all have bogus "permits" and claim they are legit.

Tom, Council, Police

What's the law?

The last published rules that I know about may be found at http://lkwdpl.org/city/code/ch741.htm.

That has to do with solicitation. I you think somebody's fishy, call the police at the non-emergency number (521-6773).

Here's the section about fire and going out of business sales http://lkwdpl.org/city/code/ch753.htm. Wasn't one of the big ugly sign issues a going out of business sale? Sorry I don't remember...

As far as Witnesses go, the government isn't supposed to restrict the religious speech of individuals. That's one of those First Ammendment no-nos. Different individuals take it upon themselves to talk with their neighbors (the Witnesses do not have a "do not visit" list), so the best you can do is to tell them that you are not interested in talking with them when they come to your home.

I actually miss one of the people who used to come around. We were never going to have similar viewpoints, but she was a very good debater. Turns out she lives near my brother's in-laws in Florida. They look forward to seeing her, too.
