According to the Medford Mail Tribune, beginning January 1, 2008 some types of panhandling became illegal in Medford. While a new city ordinance won't prohibit someone from holding a sign asking for help, it will make it illegal for him or her to accept help. In other words if I hand a homeless person an orange, she could face a $1,000 fine and up to a year in jail.
