Vendor Law Racist

Truly, I am outraged--what blatant racism (“New Law Is a Tough Sell,” May 2)! The leaders say they’re concerned with safety. I think not! It’s out-and-out racism and greed. They wouldn’t want to lose any business from the Hispanic community, now, would they? One million dollars in insurance? What a joke! How can these vendors possibly afford that? A year in jail? Aren’t the jails crowded enough?

I venture to say that if the vendors in question were not Hispanic, they wouldn’t even waste their time with a law. At least these vendors are working and not on the welfare system. Come on, isn’t it past time to end racism?
