Before the angry white Jeffersonians start commenting, I remind you that if this were actually a health issue, there are ways to license, inspect, and otherwise regulate portable food dispensaries.
Also, the JP officials quoted here say they are upset about having their "aesthetics" disrupted. Sno-Ball stands, fruit vendors and outdoor crawfish boils don't offend Jefferson Parish's aesthetic sensibilities but taco trucks do. Why is that?
Also.. there's evidence here of some weird attempt to deny reality by forcibly wishing some things away.
"These temporary businesses, they reflect the immediate, post-Katrina atmosphere," said Parish Councilman Louis Congemi, who is leading the push against the food stands. "We're trying to get away from that."God I hate white people!
