Last week the County Board of Supervisors passed an ordinance that
would make it a misdemeanor for a taco truck to park in one location
longer than an hour. Penalties up to some significant amount, either
$1000 or $5000, I forget. The ordinance applies only in
unincorporated areas of the country, not in any of the cities. That
includes East L.A., one of the large latino areas where there are many
taco trucks and many Mexican restaurants. As you might imagine, the
law is the result of complaints by the restaurant owners who say they
can't compete with the trucks' prices.

Seems to me the restaurant owners and the supervisors are wrong. The
"dining experience" at a truck is different from a restaurant, and if
the trucks left I wouldn't bet that nearby restaurants would suddenly
do all the business that was going to the trucks. So everybody is
losing here, not to mention the question of whether this is the kind
of government people want. And not to mention that some the trucks
serve great food.

The link given is to sign a petition. I don't know if signatures from
people not from east L.A. will matter.... -aem
