[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate those stupid trucks. I would be fine with a few good ones (with no music!) but it's out of control. I saw that the Park Police recently cracked down and towed a bunch but they need to do it more often. [/quote]

The need to setup a regulatory structure for the trucks - code of conduct, permitting, food safety, truck safety regs (fyi - food trucks catch on fire A LOT), etc.

The problem is that NPS actually has food service installations on the mall (run by a contractor) and they give concessioner a monopoly on food sales. So the Feds can't actually set up a regulatory system for the food trucks.

It's maddening.[/quote]
Most of the trucks don’t even have DC tags.  I could see supporting people from the District operating food trucks but definitely not people from Maryland or Virginia.[/quote]

Sorry, DC belongs to the American people, not just DC residents. If you don’t like it, move to an actual state, not the place that was specifically created to exist as the seat of the federal government. [/quote]

Yes it belongs to whole nation, however taxes should go to local government shouldering the management and maintenance.[/quote]
