The biggest story in the last day has been the City of Houston’s new proposal to regulate where and how charities and private citizens can feed the homeless. While some are angered over the attempt at regulating a charitable impulse, others point out that larger nonprofits are already in compliance and other cities have already adopted similar rules. The proposal will be in debate at today’s City Council meeting.
