England, Malaysia and South Africa are just a few of the places where Las Vegas is making headlines because of the ban on feeding the homeless in city parks. As we saw Monday, some of the Mayor's critics deliberately stirred up some publicity of their own.

Beth Monk was the first to get a ticket that carries a fine up to $1,000. Mayor Goodman is not amused with this deliberate attempt to violate the city's new ban on feeding the homeless.

Beth Monk insists it wasn't a publicity stunt, but was intended as a protest against Las Vegas' most aggressive move on those living on the streets. Earlier this month City leaders outlawed feeding the homeless in public parks to stop them from gathering in large groups and to steer them towards community shelters.
