WSB/Atlanta's Kroc Poses As Panhandler

COX Talk WSB-A/ATLANTA evening host CHRIS KROK took on ATLANTA's controversial panhandling law by posing as a homeless veteran and hitting the streets. KROC, recording the audio on sister ABC affiliate WSB-TV's audio equipment, managed to earn $17.40 an hour (which he points out amounts to an annual $33,000. "salary" with weekends off) and was only stopped by one official (and was told merely to move a block away, use a cup, and not say anything, which he was told would not violate the ordinance). KROC is donating the money he collected to the ATLANTA TASK FORCE FOR THE HOMELESS; see pictures of his odyssey at wsbradio.com.
