“A private security guard asked Madison to stop selling because city ordinance bans commerce like that without proper approval. The Saturday Market is incredibly diverse. You can buy whistles, order crepes and sign a marijuana petition all without walking more than ten steps. But you can’t open a business without going through the market’s formal application process. The market sets rules for vendors which Madison agrees make sense. Begging is different. That’s a form of free speech, protected under the First Amendment, explains Mark Ross, spokesman for the Portland Parks Bureau, which manages the city park and rents it to the Saturday Market.”
