In the last decade or so, similar bans on taco trucks have been debated in California, Texas, Arizona, North Carolina and elsewhere
And this is utter hogwash! Some of these traveling tomain palaces are being closed down. Many right here in TX. The reason? The owners don't think they have to buy the proper peddlers licenses, they don't think they have to follow health board rules, and they don't even think that they have to have their vehicles inspected.

They do the same with the people who go to the corner store and buy up ice cream bars to peddle up and down the streets. They had to pass a law here that people couldn't hang their clothes out on the fence and have more than three "yard sales" a year because there are some who think their front yards are week end flea markets.

This one case where the law doesn't care what color the "vendor" is or where he came from. And my opinion of that is : Thank God that they at least enforce that law because if they didn't plenty of people could get food poisoning.

There are plenty of those traveling food shops around that abide by the rules and do a thriving business, by the way. Even they turn in the bad ones so that they don't all get a bad name.
