Release from the Eagle’s Nest:
AG Moylan’s Panbusters - 105 CITATIONS & Counting
(Wednesday, April 22, 2026)
Following our laws requires an AG willing to take action to improve our quality of life,
regardless of the push back from opponents. You elect an AG who will be the toughest attorney
to win for you in Court. Under this Attorney General Douglas Moylan Administration, our team
continues to identify underlying problems adversely hurting our lives (quality of life), and which
violate our laws.
Experience matters, and this Second-Term AG with 35 years as an attorney invests
taxpayer resources towards projects and programs that maintain and improve all our lives. Since
launching in January 2025, AG Moylan’s Criminal Investigator team issued 105 citations to
beggars engaging in illegal panhandling at our dangerous intersections. Under 16 GCA §
3803 panhandlers cannot solicit in roadways, medians and other high-risk traffic areas. These
laws exist for a reason. Approaching vehicles, stepping into traffic and obstructing roadways
creates real danger for drivers, passengers, pedestrians and the panhandlers themselves. See
attached.
Just as important is the negative impact upon our life-blood tourism industry that puts food
on our tables from our tourist-destination economy. The last encounter tourists want to see or
speak with are beggars, most of whom can simply “GET A JOB” and stop begging. Work brings
dignity, and this AG Moylan team looks to address key areas our Governor fails us, including
providing compassionate assistance to the needy with effective programs like The Dignity
Project by this AG that she stopped days before it’s successful implementation, intended to help
the homeless with a night to shower, meal, place to sleep, emergency welfare assistance and
especially chance for a (day) job.
