A tip on curbside service
Re “Curbing East L.A. taco trucks,” April 14
It is disheartening to see small businesses attack even smaller businesses. Taco trucks meet a need in communities where taking a whole family out to dinner can be a luxury. It is unfortunate that L.A. County supervisors would give in to pressures from the business community and increase restrictions on taco vendors. Rather than valuing hard work toward self-sufficiency, the supervisors are discouraging small immigrant businesses. I would like to see investment in these small businesses that teaches strategies for long-term success, including standardized safety methods to reduce food-borne illnesses. Taco trucks have the potential to provide good, safe, nutritional and affordable food to local communities.
