Paper Says Police Harass Homeless Street Vendors

A PHOENIX WEEKLY newspaper claims its circulation went from 8,000 to 60,000 in six months, after it began using homeless street vendors as its sole distributors.
The paper also claims the vendors have been harassed by police, but the police chief said Joel K. Barr, publisher of the Grapevine, has produced no evidence of such incidents.
Barr, whose 50[tas.] paper is a mouth-piece for a new political group, the American Tea Party, said it was distributed in various outlets until last May when he switched to homeless sellers, who charge whatever they can get and keep the entire amount.
"They get anywhere from 50[tas.] to $1, with the average being 75[tas.]," Barr said. "Some have been handed a $20 bill. These sales are putting $45,000 a week into the homeless community."
Barr alleges there has been some harassment of the vendors by police in Phoenix and the nearby cities of Tempe, Mesa and Scottsdale.
In one incident, he said, a hawker was ordered to "get out town."
One issue of the Grapevine carried a front-page story saying that one of its Mesa vendors was ticketed for selling the tabloid on the street but that the charge was dropped when it was contested by the paper's attorney.
The publisher conceded these were "isolated incidents.
"Generally, we have good relations with the police, and some officers even give a thumbs-up sign to the vendors when they pass by," he related.
In response to written and verbal complaints by Barr, involving an alleged chewing-out of a vendor at a particular intersection, Phoenix Police Chief Dennis Garrett said an investigation was impossible since Barr did not supply the officer's name, badge number, or city equipment number.

Remembering Brian Quigg (couldn't find any information on Brian, but he was an activist in the 90's in Phoenix that uncovered a lot of corruption associated with the Buddhist Temple Massacre. He also lauded The Arizona Project). Brian was scheduled to come on the show on a Monday morning, but was mysteriously killed that morning at 2 a.m. - 'official' report said he was run over in the street (riiiiight.....)
