MAYOR RICHARD BERRY, Albuquerque:

I was driving in my car one day and I was at the stop light and there was a gentleman holding a sign that says, "will work." So I came back to the office and I told my staff, "We`re going to take these folks up on their offer."

Instead of being punitive and giving somebody a ticket for standing on the corner of panhandle, why don`t we give them a better opportunity?
