The recently indicted (vote fraud) LA City Councilman Richard Alarcon, a Democrat, now wants to use the power of taxation and government to protect some restaurants and kill others.
"City Councilman Richard Alarcon introduced a motion Tuesday calling for a report on how to make restaurants more competitive with the some 4,000 food trucks that roam the streets. The report, which is to be submitted to the Jobs & Business Development Committee, will include proposals for decreasing the business tax rate for restaurants, creating a Dine LA campaign and allowing restaurants to open up sidewalk cafes.
The landscape of the restaurant and food service industry in Los Angeles is changing, particularly as a result of gourmet food trucks, Alarcon said in a statement, and it is high time that the city review our policies on restaurants to find new and innovative ways to help local restaurants grow and thrive.”
In the history of mankind monopolies were create by government--either by bribe or purpose. here we have a council member, supposed to represent all citizens, has decided to help some and try to put others out of business.
This is why government is too powerful, too big and has too much money. Instead of looking for ways to make all restaurants financially successful, he wants to make some successful by limiting the availability of others.
That is a Democrat, take from one and give to others, then expect donations from the winners.
