Salinas Taco Trucks in Jeopardy

Citing safety and health concerns, along with cries of "unfair competition" from brick and mortar restaurants in the area, the City of Salinas is considering an outright ban on "mobile vendors" or a severe restriction on their business.  In January, the city set a cap on the vendor permits at the current count of 31 and no new permits will be issued causing a gradual fade-out of taco trucks in Salinas.  Next week, an as-of-yet unpublicized proposal is scheduled to go before the city council that will further restrict the taco trucks.  The proposal could include possible time restrictions instructing taco trucks to only operate between 6 pm and 6 am, could require that the vendors move their trucks every 15 minutes to one hour, or could cause taco trucks to have to move off of public streets and on to private property zoned for the business.

Life in my neck of the woods would collapse if the "Roach Coach Parade" was halted. Mainly, they feed construction workers, who are busy building a better tomorrow. They can't do it hungry.
