LOS TACOS HAN VUELTO!


VIVA!

So yesterday I got two texts while busily wrapping up crap at work for the long weekend. One said "I got tickets to tonight's Obama speech!"  The other said "TACO TRUCK VICTORY!"  While both messages contained equally exciting news, I figured one was already being covered by national news agencies, so I decided to concentrate on the other bit.

Yesterday, a Los Angeles County Superior Court judge overturned a controversial ordinance passed in April by county supervisors that made it a misdemeanor (punishable by outrageous fines and even JAIL) in unincorporated parts of the county to park a taco truck in one spot for more than an hour. Judge Dennis A. Aichroth said, was "vague" and therefore "unconstitutional."

So or the moment, they are back  (and I do not mean this in jest) by popular demand. Let's hope the county supervisors don't ignore the public outcry and turn around and write a new and more obnoxious ordinance which will impede upon the businesses of these joyful restaurants on wheels who pedal nothing but good food at reasonable prices. If we said it once, we've said it 1000 times - CARNE ASADA IS NOT A CRIME!
