Colorado Springs Mayor Steve Bach, City Councilman Merv Bennett and Police Chief Pete Carey will testify in a federal court hearing in Denver on Thursday on the city’s new ban on panhandling.
The Colorado chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union sued the city after leaders passed a “no-solicitation zone” Nov. 27, claiming the ban violates the First Amendment right to free speech, according to The .
Dave Munger, president of Colorado Springs’ Council of Neighbors and Organizations, also was subpoenaed.
The ACLU is asking for a preliminary injunction against the ban.
