Criticism Is With City on Cart Issue

The article, “Council to Take Up Cart Vendor Issue” (July 7), misstated me. I have never said that the operators of any of the carts are “Johnny-come-latelies who are unfairly taking business from longtime merchants.” I have, however, said that the people operating the carts are fine people and that my complaints are with the city and the policy changes that are made through the back door, with no long-term concern for the merchants.

After four months of research and study, the citizens committee will recommend, based on our findings, that the city of Huntington Beach not license carts and kiosks in the downtown area.
